Hepatic Steatosis Hormonal Impact

Meaning

Hepatic Steatosis Hormonal Impact refers to the complex, bidirectional relationship where the condition of excess fat accumulation in the liver, known as hepatic steatosis or fatty liver, significantly alters systemic endocrine function. This metabolic dysregulation often exacerbates underlying hormonal imbalances, particularly those involving insulin, cortisol, and sex steroids. The liver’s compromised state directly impairs its role as a central regulator of hormone metabolism and binding protein synthesis.
