Lipolysis is the breakdown of triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol.
What it does
It makes stored lipid components available for other metabolic pathways.
Research context and ingredient forms
Releasing fatty acids is distinct from their subsequent oxidation.
Using this information
A short-term increase in fat release does not, by itself, demonstrate lasting loss of body fat. Ask what outcome was actually measured.
