The sexual dimorphism in human body fat distribution suggests a causal role for sex
hormones. This is of particular importance when considering the role of excess visceral …

Adipose tissue is an important target of androgen action in humans. Androgens exert
important effects on adipose tissue biology, including fat mass expansion and distribution …

Androgens are regulators of important adipocyte functions such as adipogenesis, lipid
storage, and lipolysis. Through depot-specific impact on the cells of each fat compartment …

Androgens play an important role in regulation of body fat distribution in humans. They exert
direct effects on adipocyte differentiation in a depot-specific manner, via the androgen …

An important sex difference in body fat distribution is generally observed. Men are usually
characterized by the android type of obesity, with accumulation of fat in the abdominal …

Androgens modulate adipocyte function and affect the size of adipose tissue compartments
in humans. Aldo-keto reductase 1C (AKR1C) enzymes, especially AKR1C2 and AKR1C3 …

The differential association of hypoandrogenism in men and hyperandrogenism in women
with insulin resistance and obesity suggests that androgens may exert sex-specific effects …

Androgen excess in women and androgen deficiency in men facilitate abdominal adiposity
and related metabolic disorders. Moreover, obesity-associated gonadal dysfunction consists …

Female androgen excess and male androgen deficiency manifest with an overlapping
