Research indicates that the researchers to twelve people as objects, as allowed thirty minutes during continuous cycling like intensity based before exercise, intake of catechins with placebo were found to increase the intake of catechin group than in the placebo group, 17% of energy consumption from fat.

Exercise will stimulate the body's secretion of norepinephrine induced lipolysis enzyme process, which convert fat into energy, it can Cellulite, yet another human COMT enzyme breaks down norepinephrine, make fat metabolism are affected, catechins can inhibit COMT effect just enhance fat burning efficiency.

One of the roles of adrenaline is to promote the release of glucose from the locations in the body where it's stored. If catechins can inhibit COMT effect, it helps to burn more energy from fat during exercise.

I would like to know on which part of body's fat would be converted into energy under this situation, on the other words, where do this process converting fat into energy take place? and where do the fat come mainly from?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

By the end of the study, total body fat and body fat percentage were lower in the group that received the highest amount of catechins compared to control group. In the highest catechin group, intra-abdominal fat area was an average of 5.6 square centimeters lower, waist circumference averaged 1.9 centimeters less, and weight was 1.9 kilograms lower than those who received the control beverage.

So that's where you're getting this information. You want to know how catechins play a role in this weight loss. According to the article, catechins are antioxidants. According to Wikipedia, regarding the antioxidant activity, (+)-catechin has been found to be the most powerful scavenger between different members of the different classes of flavonoids. The ability to quench singlet oxygen seems to be in relation with the chemical structure of catechin, with the presence of the catechol moiety on ring B and the presence of a hydroxyl group activating the double bond on ring C.

This begs the question, how do antioxidants play a role in weight loss? While there is no science that links antioxidants directly to weight loss, the foods that supply the body with the most antioxidants have qualities that make them ideal for promoting weight loss. One of the keys behind weight loss is consuming foods that help fill you up while providing few calories. These foods are typically plant foods rich in fiber. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, high-fiber foods are more likely to make you feel full when compared to high-calorie foods, such as cookies, crackers, butter and bacon.
