Adipose tissue endocannabinoid system gene expression: depot differences and effects of diet and exercise
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alterations of endocannabinoid system in adipose tissue play an important role in lipid regulation and metabolic dysfunction associated with obesity. The purpose of this study was to determine whether gene expression levels of cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) are different in subcutaneous abdominal and gluteal adipose tissue, and whether hypocaloric diet and...
