This system, is composed by cannabinoid receptors type 1 and 2 (CB1R; CB2R), their endogenous ligands, known as Endocannabinoids, and the enzymes involved in their synthesis and degradation. It has been suggested that a hyperactivated SEC originates metabolic disruptions in several tissues, resulting in typical manifestations of the metabolic syndrome. Liver steatosis due to consumption of a high fat diet is a pathophysiological condition associated to a perturbed SEC. In this condition, it has been shown an increased expression of CB1R and/or higher endocannabinoid levels in hepatic cells, which may exert an autocrine/paracrine stimulation of CB1R and CB2R. Activation of CB1R stimulate the expression
