Glucocorticosteroids induce increasing fat storage

A late study has demonstrated that glucocorticosteroids promote developing fat deposits. These natural steroids have direct influence on androgen receptors that reduce body fat levels.
This study may be useful in our era, when a lot of individuals experience obesity. According to affirmations of some scientists, it is required to reduce amount of glucocorticosteroids in order to prevent or cure obesity.
When scientists conducted this study, they had the following goal: they tried to comprehend ways, causes and stages of development of fat levels. Basing on results of the study, the specialists have concluded 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 capable to regulate development of muscle mass, increase defined muscles, etc.
According to the study, glucocorticosteroids lower activity of androgen receptors. Thus, they become ineffective to control buildup of muscle mass and decrease of fat accumulation. That’s why especially abdominal parts become fatty.
The researchers note that this study has ability to promote elaborating new methods to cure and prevent obesity. The new methods will be connected with glucocorticosteroids and androgen receptors.
