Figure 3

Loss of CPT1c results in decreased endocannabinoids in the brain. (A) Biochemicals involved in fatty acid biochemistry from WT and CPT1c KO mouse brains were compared to determine if metabolomic analyses showed any statistically significant changes. There was an overall decreasing trend in endocannabinoids in CPT1c KO mice. Specifically, eicosapentaenoate (p=0.0236) and palmitoylethanolamine (p=0.0331) significantly decreased in CPT1c KO mice. (B) A schematic of how a decrease in endocannabinoids can induce a decrease in food intake by interacting with CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors.
