Fetal Cannabidiol Exposure Increases Risks
|
12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Fetal cannabidiol exposure increases risks of glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in offspring
Join us for an enlightening presentation on the potential long-term effects of prenatal CBD exposure on metabolic health.
This presentation will delve into the recent studies examining how CBD administration during pregnancy affects the metabolic health of offspring. While CBD is commonly used to alleviate pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and anxiety, its ability to cross the placenta raises concerns about fetal development, particularly in the brain and pancreas.
Dr. Bates’ research provides crucial insights into the potential risks of prenatal CBD exposure and its implications for diabetes susceptibility in offspring. She will discuss her methodology, findings, and the broader implications for public health and prenatal care recommendations.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research at the intersection of CBD use, pregnancy, and metabolic health.
When: Monday, January 6, 2025, 12 pm to 1 pm
Where: Barbara Davis Center (M20), Level 2, Main Conference Room 2104 (Map)
