By conducting experiments to lower endocannabinoids in rat brains, the scientists found that the mouse was thinner without dieting. Because it consumes more fat calories than normal mice.

For the first time scientists use endocannabinoids in reducing obesity

Previously, studies have shown that endocannabinoids play an important role in regulating energy metabolism. But this is the first time scientists have used them to reduce obesity, said Professor Daniele Piomelli at the University of California, Irvine.

Researchers also regulate 2-AG compounds in the rat brain, a compound that plays an important role in controlling brain circuits that control the body's energy use from food.

This substance is abundant in mammals, including humans, stimulating the body to crave fat. When these substances are reduced in the brain, laboratory mice will eat more, move less than normal ones. They become healthy, blood pressure is normal and there is no risk of heart disease and diabetes when eating a lot of fat.

To be applicable to humans, researchers are planning to produce a 2-AG inhibitor in the human brain, which will help people make satisfying meals without worrying about problems. related health.

The research has just been published in the March 6 issue of Cell Metabolism.
