    I don't have any studies on hand, but it is hardly counter-intuitive. You have more veins and blood-flow in your muscles than in your fat tissue.
    There are definitely newer studies which have shown that sub-q is just as effective as IM. I don't have the personally, but have I have seen them posted on other boards. The main issue from what I can tell with sub-q is that the volume one can inject is more limited because the oil tends to form slightly painful lumps under the skin which can be irritating. Other than that though it seems good to go.

    I am well aware. I didn't say it is less effective, just that it absorbs a bit slower, due to a lack of blood vessels.
