1761-P: Brain-Restricted CB1-Receptor Antagonists Increase Oxygen Consumption Rate and Promote Beiging in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes Similar to Rimonabant Suggesting that Central Effects Can Be Avoided

We have previously demonstrated in dogs that following exposure to a high fat diet for 16 weeks, the brain and peripheral penetrating CB1R antagonist Rimonabant (RIM) promoted adipose tissue beiging and decreased adipocyte cell size. It is hoped that peripherally restricted CB1R antagonists, such as AM6545, will allow for the substantial beneficial metabolic effects of CB1R antagonism without the possible negative consequences associated with...
