Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by an excessive accumulation of fat in the liver due to factors associated with diet, sedentary lifestyle,obesity, insulin resistance, among others, which influence the absorption of fatty acids(AG), decreased serum vitamin E levels and increased CD36 translocator, a factorof redox-sensitive transcription NF-kB and the PPAR³ recep…
The prevalence of obesity remains increasingly alarming in Brazil and worldwide. The most widely recommended therapy for obesity is lifestyle modification, however, implementing these changes that can lead to weight loss is difficult and maintaining long-term weight loss is even more challenging. Consequently, an academic effort is required to understand the pathophysiology and treat obes…

Thus…

Cannabinoid receptors and their ligands have emerged as important regulators of cardiometabolic diseases such as dyslipidemia, obesity and atherosclerosis. Activation ofcannabinoid receptors by selective agonists can increase macrophages lipids accumulation andfoam cells formation, events that could be inhibited by the antagonist cannabidiol. Lipidsaccumulation in monocytes and macrophage…
