Role of the peripheral endocannabinoid system in the obesity-linked metabolic disorders genesis : Involvement of adipose tissue derived endocannabino…
2021
Obesity is a pathology characterized by an excess of adipose tissue (AT) whose functions may be altered. Interestingly, strong evidence suggests that metabolic dysregulations linked to obesity is associated with an hyperactivation of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in several organs including AT. This system, composed of cannabinoid receptors (CB1R and CB2R), their endogenous ligands (EndoCannabinoids - ECs) and their biosynthetic and degrading enzymes, is expressed both in the central nervous system and in various peripheral tissues.CB1R blockade with Rimonabant, the first antagonist marketed in 2006, has proven to be an effective therapeutic approach by reducing food intake, body mass an…
