The Claim
In nonobese adults, abdominal adipocytes exhibit a four- to fivefold greater lipolytic response to noradrenaline compared to gluteal adipocytes, with this disparity being more pronounced in females than in males.
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.
In people who are not obese, fat cells around the abdomen break down fat more strongly in response to noradrenaline than fat cells in the buttocks, and this difference is larger in women than in men.
See the scientific wording
Lipolytic response to noradrenaline is four- to fivefold greater in abdominal adipocytes than in gluteal adipocytes in nonobese adults, with this difference being more pronounced in females than in males, indicating a sex-dependent regional variation in fat mobilization capacity.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Mechanisms underlying regional differences in lipolysis in human adipose tissue.
This study found that belly fat breaks down fat much more easily than butt fat when exposed to a stress hormone, and this happens even more in women than in men — exactly what the claim says.
