Diabetes - 2008 - The endocannabinoid system participates in the control of lipid and glucose metabolism at several levels, with the possible endpoint of the accumulation of energy as fat If dysregulated it might contribute to excess visceral fat accumulation associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18563385)
