Femoral AT-LPL association with HDL2 may reflect depot-specific effects; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical consideration.
Is regional adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity associated with plasma HDL cholesterol levels in pre-menopausal women?
Regional variations in adipose tissue metabolic activity are important, as femoral but not abdominal AT-LPL activity correlates with plasma HDL2-cholesterol levels.
Pouliot et al. (1991) studied this question.
