     Before fat can be burned it must be broken down to free fatty acids and glycerol. This process is called lipolysis.

The net lipolytic effect of catecholamines is related to your balance of stimulatory beta receptors and inhibitory alpha 2 receptors.

Liver
     The largest organ in the body (1200-1600 g). The liver secretes bile and plays an important role in carbohydrate and protein metabolism.
