Frequent low-impact exposure to THC during adolescence causes persistent sexually dimorphic alterations in the response to viral infection in mice

Lee, et al. 2024

Pharmacological Research

Summary

This study examined adult responses to a viral mimic after male and female mice received daily low-dose THC during adolescence. Prior THC blunted the fever and brain immune-gene response to poly(I:C) in females but not males, while preventing a male-specific suppression of neurodevelopmental and synaptic genes, demonstrating persistent and sex-dependent immune effects. UID UCT-2112 temperature microchips and a URH-1HP reader measured sickness-related temperature changes.
