Obesity and type–2 diabetes (T2D) represent a global health crisis. However, only a few, and often sub–effective pharmacological tools are available to treat these disorders. Though beneficial for glycemic control, GLP–1 receptor (GLP–1R) agonists show scarce weight–lowering and insulin–sensitizing efficacy.New molecules able to selectively block the activity of the cannabinoid receptor type–1 (CB1R) in periphera...
