Endocannabinoid-mediated responses in different tissues regulating the body’s metabolism and energy balance. Schematic representation of the main responses in central and peripheral tissues, and microbiota-regulated effects in the gut.

Direction of arrows indicates simulation and inhibition, respectively, after the activation of endocannabinoid signalling
