Glucocorticosteroids promote developing obesity

A recent research has displayed that glucocorticosteroids induce increasing fat deposits. These natural substances have direct influence on androgen receptors that have ability to reduce body fat levels.
This study is especially valuable in our era, when many individuals suffer from obesity. According to statements of certain specialists, it is required to lower amount of glucocorticosteroids in order to prevent or cure obesity.
When scientists conducted this research, they had the following goal: they desired to understand ways, reasons and stages of development of fat levels. Basing on results of the study, the scientists have claimed that androgen receptors should be activated in order to lower fat accumulation. Thus, obesity could be treated even at the early stages of development.
The androgen testosterone binds itself to androgen receptors. Thus, androgen receptors become able to regulate creation of muscle mass, increase defined muscles, etc.
According to the researchers, glucocorticosteroids lower activity of androgen receptors. So, they become ineffective to control growth of muscle mass and decrease of fat storage. That’s why fat deposits increase especially in abdominal area.
The specialists say that this study is capable to promote introducing new ways to treat and prevent obesity. The new methods will be related to glucocorticosteroids and androgen receptors.
