美国研究人员发现,体内应激激素考的松水平高的苗条女性倾向于腹部脂肪较多。不过现在还不清楚是紧张还是其它因素事实上导致了脂肪堆积。主持这项研究计划的加州大学艾波尔博士指出,心理紧张可能使具有正常休眠考的松水平以及体重为平均值的健康人腹部脂肪堆积。这是一个不好的前兆,因为同大腿或臀部脂肪堆积相比,腹部脂肪过多更能增加包括心脏病和糖尿病等几种疾病的发病率。艾波尔的这个研究小组对受心理紧张困扰的59名30-46岁的妇女进行分析,实验分三个阶段进行。约一半的妇女腹部脂肪堆积较多,她们的体格从非常苗条到肥胖不等。研究人员还搜集了唾液样本以测试考的松水平,考的松是由肾腺产生的应激激素。研究人员发现,腹部脂肪过高的女性不管其肥胖与否,都比较容易出现紧张反应。在紧张时,考的松水平升
American researchers found that slender women with high cortisone levels tend to have more abdominal fat. However, it is unclear whether it is tense or other factors that actually lead to fat accumulation. Dr. Eppel of the University of California, which chaired the research program, said psychological stress could accumulate abdominal fat in healthy people with normal levels of sleep and average body weight. This is a bad sign as excess belly fat increases the incidence of several diseases, including heart disease and diabetes, compared with fat accumulation in thighs or buttocks. The team of Epure analyzed the 59 women aged 30-46 who were suffering from psychological stress in three phases. About half of women have more abdominal fat accumulated and their physique varies from very slim to obese. The researchers also collected saliva samples to test the level of test-pine, test-cortisone is produced by the kidneys gland stress hormone. The researchers found that women with high abdominal fat were more prone to nervous reactions, whether obese or not. When nervous, the test of pine level rise
