How does progesterone influence weight management, including its effects on metabolism, appetite regulation and fat distribution in both men and women?
Progesterone can increase appetite and promote fat storage, potentially leading to weight gain. Its effects can vary between individuals, impacting both metabolism and fat distribution.
Progesterone moderates insulin levels, reducing weight gain by stabilizing blood sugar, thus curbing excessive appetite and fat storage, particularly in women.
