Rimonabant Prices
Rimonabant works by blocking receptors called
cannabinoid-1 receptors (CB1). These are found in the brain, fat tissue,
digestive system, liver and muscles. The CB1 receptors are part of a system
in the body called the endocannabinoid system. This system has only recently
been discovered and explored. It is involved in regulating energy balance,
sugar and fat metabolism and body weight. Overactivation of the CB1
receptors is associated with increased appetite, cravings for food and fat
build-up.
Rimonabant blocks CB1 receptors and so reduces cravings for these types of
foods and helps decrease appetite and control hunger. |
