heat exposure triggers hormone shifts that activate fat breakdown in adipose tissue
Hyperthermia in sauna increases catecholamine and glucagon secretion and stimulates the sympathetic autonomic nervous system, activating lipolysis in adipose tissue.
What this means for you
When your body heats up, it releases catecholamines and glucagon — the same hormones involved in your natural fat-burning response. This signals fat cells to release stored energy. For people focused on body composition or metabolic wellness, this kind of hormonal activation is a meaningful part of the picture.
