Reduced cannabinoid receptor 1 protein in subcutaneous adipose tissue of obese
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Cannabinoid 1 receptors are identified in various tissues involved in the internal metabolism including adipose tissue and the endocannabinoid system is claimed to be overactive in the obese state. To study the potential involvement of cannabinoid receptor 1 in the endocannabinoid system over-activity in adipose tissue in the obese state, we investigated the cannabinoid receptor 1 levels in adipose tissue from different fat depots in lean and obese humans.
