Role of Steroids and Hormones in Obesity

Steroids and hormones play a significant role in the development and management of obesity. Steroids, particularly corticosteroids, can contribute to weight gain by increasing appetite and promoting fat storage. Hormones such as insulin, leptin, and ghrelin also influence weight regulation. Insulin resistance, often linked with obesity, disrupts glucose metabolism and encourages fat accumulation. Leptin, which signals satiety, may become less effective in obese individuals, leading to overeating.
