Lipid signaling and fat storage in the dark-eyed junco

Highlights • Fat concentrations of 2-AG and OEA inversely relate to adiposity in juncos. • Hindbrain CB1 receptor mRNA expression inversely relates to adiposity. • Lipid signaling in fat and/or hindbrain may mediate adaptive changes in adiposity.
