The orexigenic effect of ghrelin is mediated through central activation of the endogenous cannabinoid system [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Ghrelin and cannabinoids stimulate appetite, this effect possibly being mediated by the activation of hypothalamic AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key enzyme in appetite and metabolism regulation. The cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1)

Rimonabant induced anorexia in rodents is not mediated by vagal or sympathetic gut afferents
The selective CB1 receptor antagonist rimonabant is a novel weight control agent. Although CB1 receptors and binding sites are present in both the rodent central and peripheral nervous systems, including the afferent vagus nerve, the role of gut ...
