Role of Steroids and Hormones in Obesity

Sex steroid hormones play a crucial role in the metabolism, accumulation, and circulation of adipose tissues. Recent research reveals the presence of progesterone, estrogen, and androgen receptors directly within adipose tissues, indicating their potential direct impact. These hormones influence adipose tissue function through both genomic and nongenomic mechanisms. Their involvement extends beyond traditional roles, highlighting the intricate interplay between sex steroid hormones and adipose tissue physiology.
