Influence of glucocorticosteroids and androgen receptors upon fat storage

A new research has showed that glucocorticosteroids promote enhancing fat levels. These substances have direct influence on androgen receptors that reduce body fat levels.
This research may be useful in our era, when a lot of persons experience obesity. According to statements of several scientists, it is necessary to lower amount of glucocorticosteroids in order to avoid or treat obesity.
When specialists conducted this research, they had the following goal: they wanted to understand ways, reasons and stages of development of fat levels. Basing upon results of the research, the specialists have concluded that androgen receptors should be activated in order to reduce fat accumulation. So, 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 control development of muscle mass, increase defined muscles, etc.
According to the researchers, glucocorticosteroids reduce activity of androgen receptors. So, they become inefficacious to control development of muscle mass and decrease of fat storage. That’s why fat deposits increase especially in abdominal area.
The scientists say that this research is capable to induce introducing new ways to treat and prevent obesity. The new treatment strategies will be linked with glucocorticosteroids and androgen receptors.
