Lexaria's Groundbreaking Research into DehydraTECH-CBD Published in International Journal of Molecular Science

DehydraTECH-CBD now featured in eight published, peer-reviewed papers

KELOWNA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 22, 2023 / Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ:LEXX)(NASDAQ:LEXXW) (the "Company" or "Lexaria"), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms announces that its groundbreaking research utilizing DehydraTECH-processed cannabidiol ("DehydraTECH-CBD") has now been published in eight peer-reviewed articles in six different publications.

The most recent paper entitled, "Differences in Plasma Cannabidiol Concentrations in Women and Men: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover Study" was published in June, 2023 in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Molecular Sciences.

"We're proud of the impressive amount of research that our Company has been able to develop through its HYPER-H21 series of clinical studies that has now been assessed by a variety of our respected peers," said John Docherty, President of Lexaria. "Lexaria is establishing itself as one of the world's leaders in the investigation of cannabidiol for the purposes of controlling human blood pressure and we are now focused on launching a FDA-registered IND program to formally investigate DehydraTECH-CBD for hypertension this year."

This recent publication builds on the growing body of peer reviewed literature developed on Lexaria's leading research into the effects of DehydraTECH-CBD upon human health, including hypertension. Additional publications on these findings include the following:

• In September 2019, "Examination of a New Delivery Approach for Oral Cannabidiol in Healthy Subjects" was published in the journal Advances in Therapy. Also available at PubMed.
• In June 2022, "Chronic Effects of Effective Oral Cannabidiol Delivery on 24-h Ambulatory Blood Pressure and Vascual Outcomes in Treated and Untreated Hypertension (HYPER-H21-4): Study Protocol for a Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, and Crossover Study" was published in the Journal of Personalized Medicine. Also available at PubMed.
• In April, 2023, "Trial of a Novel Oral Cannabinoid Formulation in Patients with Hypertension" was published in Pharmaceuticals. Also available at PubMed.
• "Chronic Effects of Oral Cannabidiol Delivery on 24-h Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Patients with Hypertension" was also published in April, 2023 in Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research. Also available at PubMed.
• "CBD supplementation reduces arterial blood pressure via modulation of the sympatho-chromaffin system" was additionally published in April, 2023 in Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy. Also available at PubMed.
• In June 2023, "The Influence of Oral Cannabidiol on 24-h Ambulatory Blood Pressure and Arterial Stiffness in Untreated Hypertension" was published in Advances in Therapy. Also available at PubMed.

The global cardiovascular drugs market was worth US$146.5 billion in 2022 and expected to reach $173.5 billion in 2026 and by geography, North America is the biggest market in the world making US patent protection a necessity in the pursuit of commercial markets. The broad fields of heart disease and of diabetes are emerging as two primary areas of interest for Lexaria, where DehydraTECH-CBD has already generated very positive pilot-study data.
