Weight Regulation _ Best Health Tips _ Educational Videos

Once we hit age 30, many of our hormones begin to decline. Our organs’ lean body mass (LBM) starts to decrease, whereas the adipose (or fat) mass decreases. Between the ages of 30 and 75, the liver, kidneys, brain, and pancreas atrophy by an average of 30%. The LBM declines by ~5% in men and 2.5% in women per decade. Meanwhile, the percent body fat increases in both sexes during the same period.

Although many people consider these changes as simply part of aging, they threaten health and longevity. For example, the amount of aerobic power is directly linked to the amount of LBM. In addition, the shrinkage of the vital organs means they cannot do their jobs as efficiently as they once could, whether it is the heart pumping, muscles lifting, or kidneys clearing metabolic waste from the blood. Finally, as the amount of abdominal fat rises, the risk of heart attack, hypertension, and diabetes increases.

In one study performed on 24 adults with GH deficiency at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London, half of the group was given hGH therapy, and the other half was given a placebo. At the end of the six months, the hormone-treated group had no change in their overall weight, but they had lost an average of 12.5 pounds of fat and gained an average of 12.1 pounds of LBM (a 10.8% increase), which is mostly muscle. The bodies became sleeker and more tapered, as shown by a significant waist-to-hip ratio decrease. Although this study was conducted on patients with pituitary diseases, the researchers noted that recombinant hGH reduced fat mass by ~20%, which suggests that GH could regulate fat mass in normal adults.

Hormones can play a significant role in weight gain and weight loss. Some hormones that are particularly important for weight regulation include:

Insulin: Insulin is produced by the pancreas, which plays a critical role in regulating blood sugar levels. High insulin levels can contribute to weight gain, particularly around the abdomen.

Leptin: Leptin is produced by fat cells, and it plays a critical role in regulating appetite and metabolism. Leptin levels typically rise with increasing fat mass, and imbalances in leptin levels can contribute to overeating and weight gain.

Ghrelin: Ghrelin is a hormone produced in the stomach that plays a critical role in regulating appetite and food intake. Ghrelin levels typically rise before meals, promoting hunger, and fall after meals, promoting satiety. Imbalances in ghrelin levels can contribute to overeating and weight gain.

Cortisol: Cortisol is a hormone primarily produced in the adrenal glands and plays a critical role in the body’s stress response. Chronic stress can elevate cortisol levels, contributing to weight gain, particularly around the abdomen.

Estrogen: Estrogen is a hormone primarily produced in the ovaries, and it plays a critical role in regulating the menstrual cycle and reproductive function. Imbalances in estrogen levels can contribute to weight gain, particularly around the hips and thighs.

Note that the relationship between hormones and weight gain is complex, and other factors such as diet, exercise, genetics, and lifestyle also play important roles. If you are experiencing unexplained weight gain, you must talk to a qualified healthcare provider who can help identify the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
