Abstract
⺠Endogenous cannabinoids are involved in feeding and highly palatable food intake. ⺠Continuous access to sweet-fat food elevated CB1 receptor mRNA in the NTS. ⺠Increased CB1 receptor mRNA in the NTS was related to weight gain. ⺠Intermittent feeding schedules reduced CB1 receptor mRNA in the cingulate cortex. ⺠Access to sweet-fat food reduced CB1 receptor densities in the accumbens shell.
