Sex matters: The effects of biological sex on adipose tissue biology and energy metabolism

Abstract: Adipose tissue is a complex and multi-faceted organ. It responds dynamically to internal and external stimuli, depending on the developmental stage and activity of the organism. The most common functional subunits of adipose tissue, white and brown adipocytes, regulate and respond to endocrine processes, which then determine metabolic rate as well as adipose tissue functions. While the molecular aspects of white and brown adipose biology have become clearer in the recent past, much less is known about sex-spec… Show more

“…This study suggests that the sex dimorphism in the quantity and distribution of adipose tissue not only results in differences in body shape between women and men but may also have differential implications for the future risk of MI. Body composition and fat distribution differ markedly between women and men, with a predominance of fat mass and subcutaneous fat in women and of lean mass and visceral fat in men . These sex differences can, at least in part, be attributed to the influence of sex hormones on fat distribution.…”

“…У мужчин типичным является отложение жира вдоль туловища, а также большая масса висцерального жира [11,13]. Именно здесь наблюдается преимущественное накопление жира при избытке веса у мужчин, тогда как у женщин отложение жира происходит главным образом в подкожном депо (табл.…”

“…Однако важным преимуществом женщин до менопаузы является превалирование β1-2 АР в висцеральном депо, что способствует превалированием процесса липолиза. У мужчин, а также у женщин в постменопаузальном периоде, соотношение АР меняется в противоположную сторону, что объясняет преимущественное накопление жира в висцеральном депо [11].…”
