There is some evidence that prenatal cannabis exposure (PCE) may be associated with increased risk for development of obesity and diabetes later in life, however this has not been well explored under controlled conditions. The aim of this study was to use a translational THC vapor model in rodents to characterize the effects of PCE on adiposity, glucose metabolism, and feeding patterns in adu… Show more
