One cause of stubborn belly fat than other fats are alpha adrenergic receptors it has a higher and beta 2 adrenergic receptors is lower.
Beta receptor is composed of a layer of phospholipids that form the outer membranes of many cells of the body, including the fat cells (lipocytes). This beta receptors will free fatty acids from adipose tissue and into the bloodstream to be consumed as fuel by skeletal muscle.
But because the numbers in the stomach a bit, then the fat will accumulate less is released which makes it difficult to remove. While this works receptor alpha against beta receptor and blocking the release of fatty acids from fat cells.
Even so gradually abdominal fat can be reduced by making dietary changes and exercise or activity fiisk regularly for 30-60 minutes per day.
