Question

As compare to an adult male, the adult female has more
A) Fat
B) Brain
C) Connective tissues and other parts
D) Muscles

Answer 1

There is abundant evidence that the proportion of the energy derived from the fat during exercise is higher in the women than in the men. With respect to the total body fat the percentage body fat is increased in the women as compared to the men.

Complete answer:
Women generally have a higher percentage of the body fat than men. Also, the women store more fat in the gluteal femoral region, and the men store more fat in the visceral depot. Many of the reviews focus on the differences in the regional fatty acid storage, the mobilization and the oxidation that may contribute to the gender related differences in body fat distribution. Women generally have a higher body fat percentage as compared to the men, the men generally have more muscle tissue mass.

Additional information:
There are many of the regional differences in the regulation of the regional fatty acid metabolism between the men and the women. There is evidence that in the vivo, catecholamine mediated leg free fatty acid release is lower in the women than in the men, whereas free fatty acid release from the upper body depots is comparable. The free fatty acid release by the upper body subcutaneous fat depots is the higher in the men than in the women, indicating a higher resistance to the antilipolytic effect of the meal ingestion in the upper body fat depots in men.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘A’ i.e, ‘Fat’.

Note: The postprandial fat storage may be higher in the subcutaneous adipose tissue in the women than in the men, whereas the storage in visceral adipose tissue has been hypothesized to be higher in the men.All the above differences may play an important role in the variation in the net regional fat storage between the men and the women, but the number of in the studies on the gender related differences in the fatty acid metabolism is very limited and most findings require the confirmation.
