Clinical trials: Abdominal Obesity
Diabete Type 2, Abdominal Obesity
Translational Study Using Human Abdominal Adipose Tissue Biopsies to Investigate the Role of Cannabinoid Receptor 1 (CB1) in Controlling Endocannabinoid and Adipokine Secretion
Abdominal obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with the hyperactivation of the endocannabinoid system. Several animal and human studies indicate that circulating endocannabinoid (EC) levels are correlated with body fat.
