- Abstract
The link between excess intra-abdominal adiposity (IAA) and metabolic complications leading to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease is well recognized. Blockade of endocannabinoid action at cannabinoid CB(1) receptors was shown to reduce these complications. Here, we investigated the relationship between IAA, circulating endocannabinoid levels and markers of cardiometabolic risk in male obese subjects.
