Visceral Adipose Regulation

Meaning

Visceral Adipose Regulation is the complex physiological process governing the accumulation, mobilization, and metabolic activity of the visceral fat tissue, the metabolically active fat stored deep within the abdominal cavity surrounding vital organs. Effective regulation is a critical objective in hormonal health, as dysregulation leading to excess visceral fat is strongly linked to insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and cardiovascular risk. This regulation is primarily mediated by the interaction of cortisol, insulin, and sex hormones.
