The relationship between sex hormones and obesity
In the male and female human body, there are two closely related and gender differences in the organs, which are the male testes and female ovaries, respectively, secrete different hormones, so that male and female sexuality are different, its main role is to stimulate the growth of reproductive organs and regulation of genital function, these two organs is a hormone secreted by sex hormones, mainly testosterone in the male, the female is mainly progesterone.
Obese people about the changes in sex hormones, Amatruda and his colleagues measured the x obese men with plasma free testosterone and testosterone levels. They found that to achieve ideal body weight men, the average plasma testosterone levels were significantly lower than non-obese men with the control group (less than 120% of ideal body weight), or per liter was 147.82 ± 4T. 19mmol with the ratio of 198.48 ± 47.68mmol; if the body weight to achieve the desired weight of 200% and 200% of the men; the plasma testosterone of water on average lower (per liter is 73.2 ± 22.56mmol), and the average level of free testosterone index also fell. Description of obesity on men, sex hormone levels are declining. Similarly, obese women, the determination of progesterone, but did not see the parties concerned discussed the matter. Strange is that in obese women, the measured plasma levels of estrogen than normal females, so more than normal-weight women, obese women have more menstrual abnormalities. Clinically, can often be seen hirsutism, menstrual scarce and menopause appear together.
