Glucocorticoids, prolactin and growth hormone play an important role in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis.

Mechanisms of development of obesity in various endocrine diseases are different. Adequate correction of hormonal disorders usually is accompanied by a decrease in body weight and the improvement of metabolic parameters.
