Review reveals estrogen promotes subcutaneous fat partitioning and preserves adipose health, highlighting its protective role against obesity-related metabolic dysfunction.

Key Points

Summarize the mechanisms through which estrogen regulates white adipose tissue health, body fat partitioning, and metabolic homeostasis to protect against obesity-associated disorders.
Narrative review synthesizing mechanistic research on estrogen-mediated signaling in white adipose tissue biology.
Assessed pathways involving body fat distribution, adipocyte progenitor cell dynamics, adipogenesis, and thermogenesis.
Estrogen bioavailability favors fat deposition in metabolically healthy subcutaneous depots rather than pathogenic visceral compartments.
Estrogen preserves adipose tissue homeostasis by mitigating inflammation, reducing tissue fibrosis, and sustaining adequate vascularization.
Estrogen signaling regulates adipocyte progenitor cell function, promotes proper adipogenesis, and supports thermogenic activity to maintain systemic metabolic balance.
