Backgrounds
South Asians have a higher risk to develop obesity and related disorders compared to white Caucasians. This may in part be due to their lower resting energy expenditure (REE) which coincides with less energy-combusting brown adipose tissue (BAT). Since blockade of endocannabinoid signaling increases BAT activity and over-activation of
