The Claim
In women, mRNA expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) in subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue demonstrates a positive association with total body fat mass and visceral adiposity, such that higher 11β-HSD1 expression levels correlate with greater adiposity measures.
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 women, higher levels of a specific enzyme (11β-HSD1) in fat tissue are linked to having more body fat, especially around the belly.
See the scientific wording
In women, mRNA expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) in both subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue is positively associated with total body fat mass and visceral adiposity, with higher expression linked to greater adiposity
What the research says
1 studyThe study measured a specific enzyme (11β-HSD1) in fat tissue from women's bellies and found that women with more body fat and more visceral belly fat had higher levels of this enzyme - exactly matching what the claim says.
