A single 20-minute session of HIIT can activate GLUT-4 transporters in muscle cells for up to 24–48 hours, drawing glucose out of the bloodstream and away from storage in the liver and visceral fat depots. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-naked-heart-7051353/episodes/why-hiit-gets-rid-of-visceral-fat-the-science-behind-anaerobic-exercise/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-naked-heart-7051353/why-hiit-gets-rid-of-visceral-fat-the-science-behind-anaerobic-exercise.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
