  3. ECS: Widely distributed with multiple cardiometabolic effects Central nervous system Peripheral tissue Liver GI tract Adipose tissue Skeletal muscle Hypothalamus Limbic system Satiety signalsFat storage Lipid and glucose metabolism Appetite Motivation to eat Matias I, Di Marzo V. Trends Endocrinol Metab. 2007;18:27-37.Pagotto U et al. Endocr Rev. 2006;27:73-100. ECS = endocannabinoid system

  4. Potential therapeutic implications of CB1 receptor blockade Site of action Mechanism(s) Addresses Food intake Body weightWaist circumference AdiponectinLipogenesis DyslipidemiaInsulin resistance Glucose uptake Insulin resistance Lipogenesis DyslipidemiaInsulin resistance Satiety signals Body weight Hollander P. Am J Med. 2007;120:S18-28.

  12. Endocannabinoid system overview Receptors and ligands of the ECS are widely distributed in both central and peripheral compartments Adiposity is associated with ECS overactivation Inhibition of the ECS modulates food intake and metabolic pathways through multiple mechanisms of action
