Summary

Up till now, the evaluation of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in humans needs invasive procedures. The investigators managed in the lab to determine the levels of endocannabinoids in a small number of subjects. The aim of the study is to confirm that salivary is a useful tool to evaluate the activity of the ECS both in normal weight and obese subjects that are characterised by a hyperactivity of the system. Therefore, the first objective of the study is to compare the fasting level of salivary anandamide between 12 obese patients and 12 normal weight subjects.

BIOLOGICAL

Biological data

Height, Weight, waist circumference and systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be measured in obese and normal subjects. Blood and saliva sampling will be performed after an overnight fast, one hour and just before the beginning of the lunch and one hour after the end of the lunch. This will allow a measurement of fasting glycaemia and insulin, fasting cholesterol and triglycerides, liver profile. Endocannabinoids will be measured both in plasma and saliva at each time point. Gut hormones (Ghrelin and PYY) will be measured before, just before and after lunch in plasma.
