Researchers shed light on the enigma of cannabis users tending to be leaner and less diabetes-prone despite appetite stimulation. The study shows that cannabis exposure during adolescence disrupts energy balance and adipose organ (fat storage) homeostasis.

Findings reveal regular cannabis usage leads to alterations in fat cells, causing them to produce proteins usually found only in muscle and heart, affecting their ability to store and release nutrients.

These changes could impact physical activity and mental processes like attention, which require a steady supply of brain fuel.
