Visceral Fat Mobilization

Meaning

Visceral Fat Mobilization is the process by which stored triglycerides within adipocytes surrounding the internal organs are hydrolyzed and released into the systemic circulation as free fatty acids (FFAs) for energy utilization elsewhere in the body. This crucial process is tightly regulated by the autonomic nervous system and key lipolytic hormones, such as catecholamines and growth hormone. Efficient and appropriate mobilization is vital for maintaining overall metabolic flexibility and health.
