Endocannabinoids
By Neil R. J. Watson [5]
One method of pharmaceutically tackling obesity is to give cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1 receptor) antagonists such as rimonabant. Mice genetically engineered to be deficient in CB-1 receptors have been shown to be resistant to diet induced obesity. Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated weight loss in obese subjects, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) to bad (LDL) cholesterol. However, a major issue in using CB1 antagonists is the incidence of psychiatric problems, in particular, depression (unfortunately several suicides occured during trials). As a result, the FDA has not approved the use of rimonabant in the United States. The European Medicines Agency (EMEA) has recommended the marketing authorisation of rimonabant be suspended across the EU, and consequently NICE has withdrawn its guidance for the use of the drug.
