This journal shows the differences in body composition and why women naturally have more body fat than men  and why men have more lean mass. It also links into different hormones and how they affect body composition whihc can also be linked into msucle mass. In this journal it talks about insulin resistance and energy balance as well as body composition and how all 3 of the topics link together.

The difference in ammounts of visceral and hepatic adipose tissue and estrogen are related to the higher insulin resistance in men which is why women may naturally have more body fat which is related to the body composition in men and women]]> 2018-10-15 12:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/b499865/7m9rlprgnm7e/wish/292762323 b503542 https://padlet.com/b499865/7m9rlprgnm7e/wish/292763396 https://www.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1152/jappl.1997.83.1.229
This journals main point is that men seem to lose a lot more muscle mass with age than women do.

https://www.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1152/jappl.2000.89.1.81

This journal main point is men have more skeletal muscle than women do. This is due to men having as higher amount of testosterone production than women do, this accelerates muscle growth and allows men to hold more muscle mass. In absolute terms (33.0 vs 21.6 kg)  and relative to body mass (38.4 vs 30.8%)

It also states that difference in skeletal muscle is greater in the upper body, specifically in the upper 40%.]]> 2018-10-15 12:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/b499865/7m9rlprgnm7e/wish/292763396 b499865 https://padlet.com/b499865/7m9rlprgnm7e/wish/292765870

This journal explains the differences in thermoregulation between men and women. It mentions that due to women having a larger body surface to body mass ratio they lose more heat from their body.

It also states that women's sweating response to heat load is still smaller than that of men, but they are able to maintain their core body temperature due to  having greater evaporative efficiency of sweating.

However, this can change as women that take contraceptives and their change in their body during their menstrual cycle can change their body temperature and thermoregulation.
