Mutation screen and association studies for the fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) gene and early onset and adult obesity

BACKGROUND: The orexigenic effects of cannabinoids are limited by activation of the endocannabinoid degrading enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). The aim of this study was to analyse whether FAAH alleles are associated with early and late onset obesity. METHODS: We initially assessed associati...
