Mice fed linoleic acid showed increased levels of anandamide and other endocannabinoids.

“And what they found was that increasing linoleic acid from 1 to 8% elevated arachidonic acid phospholipids in the liver and erythrocytes, tripled 2-AG and 1-AG and AEA, which is anandamide, associated with increased food intake, feed efficiency, and adiposity in mice.”

“which led to increased feed efficiency meaning that mice were incorporating more calories into their bodies essentially basil metabolic rate appeared to be lowering which is something that I'll talk about in a moment with regard to thyroid hormones in connection with linolic acid and they had adiposity”
