There is some evidence that it can. However, in some men, low levels of testosterone have been seen as the cause of an increase in belly fat. Controversy still exists about which causes which.
It should also be noted: that belly fat should not be taken as symptomatic of a low testosterone level. There are many men and women who have no testosterone problem, and have accumulated belly fat.
Only a doctor can tell you if testosterone levels are causing belly fat, or the other way around.
What else can I help you with?
Does increased thyroid hormone production increase or decrease TRH production?
Thyroid releasing hormone (TRH) is released when thyroid hormones are low. Increased thyroid hormone production would serve to inhibit/decrease TRH release.
Increased amount of light would inhibit the production of which hormone?
Increased amount of light would inhibit the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. Melatonin levels typically rise in the evening in response to darkness, signaling the body that it is time to sleep.
Will high levels of testosterone inhibit the A hypothalamus B anterior pituitary gland?
High levels of testosterone will inhibit the A hypothalamus and B anterior pituitary gland through a negative feedback loop. Testosterone signals to the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland to reduce the production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which in turn decreases testosterone production.
What hormones inhibit insulin?
Glucagon, adrenaline, cortisol and growth hormone.
Definition of tropic hormone?
Tropic hormones are hormones that regulate the secretion of other hormones from endocrine glands. They act on target glands to stimulate or inhibit the release of specific hormones, which then exert effects on various tissues and organs in the body. Examples include thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
Does the parasympathetic or sympathetic inhibit the production of saliva?
The sympathetic inhibits the production of saliva.
Hypothalamus produces hormones secreted by which gland?
The hormones produced by the hypothalamus are secreted by the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus regulates the pituitary gland by releasing hormones that stimulate or inhibit hormone production in the pituitary.
What hormone suppresses spermatogenesis with out affecting testosterone secretion?
Inhibin is a hormone that specifically suppresses spermatogenesis without affecting testosterone secretion. It is produced by the Sertoli cells in the testes and acts to inhibit the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland, which is necessary for sperm production. This helps to regulate the balance of hormones involved in male reproductive function.
What regulates estrogen and progesterone?
LH ( luteinising hormone) is stimulated by oestrogen and secreted by the pituitary gland. As oestrogen levels rise it will inhibit the production of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and will encourage the production of LH. As LH rises to a peak in the middle of the menstrual cycle, they will stimulate the release of a mature egg.
What prescription drugs inhibit semen production?
Most prescription drugs are not known to affect the sperm production.
What are transcriptase inhibitors?
Substances that inhibit the production or the action of transcriptase, which is an enzyme.
Do hormones stimulate or inhibit growth?
They can do either one, depending on what hormone you are talking about, if it is functioning correctly, and the stage of your life.
