Obesity and hormones

For women, hormones are a major factor contributing to obesity and being overweight. The sex steroids estrogens and Progesterone (P), produced during the menstrual cycle, play a role in the regulation of reproductive processes in women, in turn in the energy balance of the body and are mediators even of eating behavior.
