In a placebo controlled study of Rhodiola rosea???s ability to mobilize fatty acids from adipose tissue, 121 subjects were given either Rhodiola rosea extract or a placebo and their serum lipid levels were tested at rest and after one hour of exercise. The Rhodiola group had 6% greater serum fatty acid levels than the placebo group at rest and 44% greater levels after one hour of exercise. This difference is presumably due to Rhodiola rosea???s ability to activate adipose lipase, a key enzyme required to burn the body???s fat stores.
