Cerebral μ-opioid and CB <sub>1</sub> -receptor systems have distinct roles in human feeding behavior
2020-12-21
Abstract excerpt
Eating behavior varies greatly between healthy individuals, but the neurobiological basis of these trait-like differences in feeding remains unknown. Central µ-opioid receptors (MOR) and cannabinoid CB 1 -receptors (CB 1 R) regulate energy balance via multiple neural pathways, promoting food intake and reward.
