ReCreate may specifically target abdominal fat, via several mechanisms. Firstly, research has established a link between abdominal fat, and particularly visceral adipose (VAT), and Cortisol; the instigation of stress response tends toward SAT and VAT storage, for a great number of convoluted reasons. While this same research did not elucidate the inverse relationship - that is, it did not analyze the effects of Cortisol suppression on the hydrolyzation (break up) of stored triglycerides into glycerols and fatty acids, it is safe to assume that lowered levels of Cortisol would mitigate further VAT/SAT storage. ReCreate is a powerful selective inhibitor of the 11B-HSD1 enzyme; an important enzymatic step in the conversion of the inactive Cortisone to the active Cortisol.
Shorthand: ReCreate will attenuate serum Cortisol levels, thereby most likely leading to less abdominally specific SAT/VAT.
Secondly, ReCreate modulates levels of HSL, the most important, and rate-limiting, enzyme responsible for lipolysis. Not only does HSL directly hydrolyze and mobilize FFAs into the bloodstream, it also sensitizes WAT (white adipose tissue) cells to B-andrenergic induced lipolysis. The proper expression of HSL can help to attenuate lipogenesis in WAT, and increase the mobilization of FFAs into the bloodstream (which would then subsequently by oxidized via several downstream messengers, most notably AMPk which Anabolic Pump increases).
Shorthand: ReCreate increases HSL expression. The key enzyme for the hydrolyzation of WAT.
However, with all that being said, diet is the most important facet to reveal the abdominal tendons. ReCreate and Anabolic Pump will greatly assist a proper nutritional and training regime, but they are not a crutch or quick-fix. Dedication + ReCreate + AP = results. The first factor is the rate-limiting factor in this equation.
