Circulating levels of testosterone and percentage of body fat are controlled by the same genes in men, reveals a research published in the latest edition of Clinical Endocrinology. The research shows a 23% overlap between the genes that control testosterone and those that regulate body fat composition, suggesting that these two variables are partly controlled by the same set of genes.
The research found a strong correlation between sex hormones and body fat, which was predominantly due to shared genes. There was no link in terms of environmental factors between sex hormones and body composition.
