TL;DR: It is shown that following temporary food restriction, CB1 receptor knockout mice eat less than their wild-type littermates, and the CB1 antagonist SR141716A reduces food intake in wild- type but not knockout mice, which indicates that endocannabinoids in the hypothalamus may tonically activate CB1 receptors to maintain food intake and form part of the neural circuitry regulated by leptin.
Cardiac fibroblast–derived microRNA passenger strand-enriched exosomes mediate cardiomyocyte hypertrophy
Claudia Bang,Sandor Batkai,Seema Dangwal,Shashi Kumar Gupta,Ariana Foinquinos,Angelika Holzmann,Annette Just,Janet Remke,Karina Zimmer,Andre Zeug,Evgeni Ponimaskin,Andreas Schmiedl,Xiaoke Yin,Manuel Mayr,Rashi Halder,Andre Fischer,Stefan Engelhardt,Yuanyuan Wei,Andreas Schober,Jan Fiedler,Thomas Thum +20 more
TL;DR: It is found that cardiac fibroblasts secrete star miRNA-enriched exosomes and fibroblast-derived miR-21* is identified as a paracrine signaling mediator of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy that has potential as a therapeutic target.

TL;DR: The findings support the presence of a peripheral endocannabinoid system that is upregulated in human obesity and increased in mature human adipocytes compared with in preadipocytes and was found in several human tissues.
Measurement of cardiac function using pressure–volume conductance catheter technique in mice and rats
TL;DR: This method is unique for providing measures of left ventricular performance that are more specific to the heart and less affected by vascular loading conditions.
