Role of Steroids and Hormones in Obesity

Sex steroid hormones have an interest in the distribution, accumulation, and metabolism of adipose tissues. Recent research has shown that the progesterone, oestrogen, and androgen receptors are present in adipose tissues, suggesting that their activities may be direct. Both nongenomic and genomic processes are used by sex steroid hormones in adipose tissues to carry out their activity.
