In summary, these studies identified a role for the CB2 receptor in food intake through depletion of the receptor and exposure to several diets, which resulted in increased CB2 receptor expression and food intake. The results show consistent evidence from animal studies that the CB2 receptor could play a role in the rewarding effects of palatable food through distinct neuronal mechanisms and that the intake of palatable food induces increased expression of CB2 in the NAC and VTA [71].
