Brain Insulin Sensitivity Determines Body Weight and Fat Distribution

Caption

If the brain reacts sensitively to the hormone, you lose a significant amount of weight, reduce unhealthy abdominal fat and can maintain weight in the long term. If the brain reacts only slightly or not at all to insulin, you only lose some weight at the beginning of the intervention and then gain weight again.
