Burn More Body Fat By Increasing Adipose Tissue Blood Flow

Key Points:
• ANG II is a major vasoconstrictor of adipose tissue blood flow and inhibits fat mobilization.
• Reduced adipose tissue insulin sensitivity reduces adipose tissue blood flow and reduces fat burning.
Nitric Oxide increases blood flow to not only muscle, but adipose tissue as well.
Nitric Oxide, catecholamines and yohimbine all increase blood flow to adipose tissue and increase fat oxidation.
