Background: Abdominal obesity is associated with a blunted lipolytic response to fasting that
may contribute to the preservation of adipose tissue mass. Objective: To further explore the
pathophysiology of blunted lipolysis during fasting in obesity, we simultaneously measured
lipolysis and distinct neuroendocrine regulatory hormones in abdominally obese and normal-
weight (NW) women. Design: Eight abdominally obese [x̄±SD body mass index (BMI; in
kg/m 2): 32.1±2.6] and 6 NW (BMI: 22.7±1.5) women were studied during the last 8 h of a 20 …
