Alpha 2 and Beta Receptors

[nautica]

I realize that many cells have one of these two types of receptors.

Speaking of fat cells, specifically. Is this what distinquishes female fat pattern distribution and other subcutaneous fat in males and females???

Any info on this would be appreciated.

Also, most nutritionist make a blanket statement that fat is fat and it is lost evenly. I am of the opinion that the A2 would be the last to go. I have found a few studies but nothing specifically relating to fat loss and these receptors. Are there studies out there? Also, is this the target of yohimburn?

Thanks

I remember reading a great thread by macro/drveejay11/Fonz a while back that discussed this topic. I am pretty sure DRVEEJAY11 was the thread starter (99% sure) . Run a search. I can't as I am not platinum.
