Describe how lipoprotein lipase (LPL) varies by gender

In men, LPL is more active in the visceral, abdominal fat cells than in females, but females have higher LPL activity rates in the hips and thighs than do males. This is probably the reason women deposit more fat in the lower body and why adipose tissue in these areas is more stable and takes longer to lose.
