Hips - An LFP may be found in the hips, limited by the 12th rib above, the muscles of the lumbar region posteriorly, the abdominal muscles anteriorly, and the iliac crest below. Gluteal region and flank - The lumbo-gluteal adipose body (LGAB) has been identified in this area [12–14].

It is also found in the stroma-vascular fraction of adipose tissue [109]. Adipocytic overexpression of the protein in cachectic mice is consistent with a role for it in the local control of lipolysis. A recent paper reporting that protein ZAG stimulates adiponectin expression in adipocytes in vitro suggests that it may be a gene for body weight regulation. References 1.
