Abstract in brief

  • The study found that cannabidiol (CBD), a compound from cannabis, can induce white fat cells to develop characteristics of brown fat cells, which are better at burning energy.
  • CBD increases the expression of specific genes and proteins involved in fat burning and thermogenesis, such as UCP1, PRDM16, and PGC1, possibly through PPAR and PI3K pathways.
  • Overall, CBD may help fight obesity by promoting fat cell browning and enhancing lipid metabolism, making it a potential therapeutic option for weight management.
