Baseline femoral-abdominal adipose differences do not extend to adrenergic responses; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does local catecholamine infusion or active tilt alter lipolysis and blood flow differently in abdominal versus femoral adipose tissue in healthy subjects?
Femoral adipose tissue has higher baseline lipolysis and lower blood flow than abdominal tissue, but both respond similarly to adrenergic stimulation.
Millet et al. (1998) studied this question.
