Lipoprotien Lipase (LPL) is the fundamental enzyme in the regulation of lipoprotein and lipid metabolism. In women (fat cells in the breast, hips and thighs produce LPL) estrogen regulates the activity of LPL while in men testosterone regulates LPL wherein addominal tissue in men prduces LPL.
LPL hydrolyzes plasma triglycerides into free form fatty acids (FFA's) and glycerol where it works for the uptake of plasma triglyceride by the tissue. Adipose tissue LPL permits uptake of plasma triglyceride as storage in fat cells while muscle LPL utilizes plasma triglycerides as fuel for muscle.
As one gets older and Hgh lowers naturally LPL levels rise. which is why it gets harder to stay lean and keep bodyfat off as one ages.
For you younger guys using rice cakes as a carbs source is not that big of an issue but it's just someting to remember as your get older you wil have to cut them out of your diet.
