The Claim
In spontaneously hypertensive rats, 4 days of detraining following 10 weeks of aerobic exercise was associated with a 28% reduction in plasma membrane GLUT4 expression in epididymal fat, but no significant change in serum RBP4 levels or insulin sensitivity.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
After 10 weeks of regular exercise, rats with high blood pressure stopped working out for just 4 days—and their fat cells showed less of a protein that helps move sugar into cells, but their blood sugar control and another blood marker didn’t change.

In spontaneously hypertensive rats, 4 days of detraining after 10 weeks of aerobic exercise was associated with a 28% reduction in plasma membrane GLUT4 expression in epididymal fat, but no significant change in serum RBP4 levels or insulin sensitivity.
What the research says
1 studyAfter 10 weeks of exercise, rats that stopped working out for just 4 days lost some of the exercise-induced improvement in a fat cell protein (GLUT4), but their blood sugar control and RBP4 levels stayed the same — just like the claim says.
