PRIMARY STUDY
Phytocannabinoids—A Green Approach toward Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Treatment
Key Findings: This review covers the existing knowledge base on the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and CB1 and CB2 receptors and their involvement in the development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty-liver disorder (NAFLD). A better understanding of this interaction could lead to potential therapeutic uses for cannabinoids in the treatment of NAFLD.
