Newest firstBackground and Purpose Obesity involves profound disruptions in neuronal circuits, neuroendocrine communication and the endocannabinoid system (ECS). While global cannabinoid type-1 receptor (CB1R) blockade improves metabolism, its clinical use is limited by neuropsychiatric side effects. Peripherally restricted CB1R antagonists offer a safer alternative, yet the neural pathways, specifically the role of the gut-b…
Open article record in new tab ↗Obesity is a pandemic disease associated with many metabolic alterations and involves several organs and systems. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) appears to be a key regulator of energy homeostasis and metabolism. Here we show that specific deletion of the ECS synthesizing enzyme, NAPE-PLD, in adipocytes induces obesity, glucose intolerance, adipose tissue inflammation and altered lipid metabolism. We report that…
