Adrenoreceptors on the obliques?

[ss4vegeta1]

Is lack of blood flow one of the reasons fat accumulates in this area?

Partially, yes.

Probably of greater significance:

There are relatively few beta-2 adrenoreceptors (and more alpha-2) in that area. Therefore, fat is less readily mobilized in the high alpha-2 density/ low beta-2 density areas.

Does he mention that saturated fat is one's great's arsenal against it?
