Just 7 days of strength training started shrinking fat cells in mice

Perspective
I'm cautious about assuming these mouse results directly translate to humans without more research. My concern is whether the molecular pathways observed are consistent across species.
Source summary
Just seven strength-training sessions helped obese mice shrink visceral fat cells and reactivate molecular pathways involved in burning stored fat, despite no change in overall body weight. The findings suggest some benefits of resistance exercise may begin long before weight loss becomes visible, though the results still need to be confirmed in humans.
