Area storage of body fat in men differ from women. This, according to a study published in the International Journal of Obesity, is influenced by genetic differences in fat tissue of male and female adipose tissue.

The observation, which is purely done on rats, could help explain why men tend to store fat in the abdominal area, while women tend to accumulate fat in the hips.

Researchers from UT Southwestern Medical Center Dr. Deborah Clegg declared a focus on fat distribution pattern similar to mouse fat distribution pattern in humans. Researchers took genes from abdominal fat and hip fat, male and female rats.

Medium pramenopause women tend to carry fat around the buttocks, hips and thighs. After the menopause, fat storage in women switching to the waist area.
