The Claim
Visceral fat accumulation is driven by hormonal dysregulation involving three master hormones that regulate adipose tissue distribution.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Your body has special hormones that control where fat gets stored. When these hormones get out of balance, you end up storing more fat deep inside your belly around your organs.
See the scientific wording
Visceral fat accumulation requires hormonal dysregulation, specifically involving three master hormones that regulate adipose tissue distribution.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Hormonal control of regional fat distribution.
The study shows that hormones like cortisol, insulin, and testosterone normally control where fat is stored in the body. But the claim says you NEED hormonal 'dysregulation' to get visceral fat - the study doesn't prove that. It just shows hormones work in healthy people too.
