Could high body fat lower a guys testosterone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definitely!: Bodyfat is a hormone secreting entity. Beyond that, the enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen is located in bodyfat as well as other places. If you have a high amount of bodyfat, your estrogen levels may be high. High estrogen is associated with elevated sex hormone binding globulin, which is a protein that binds testosterone. When SHBG is high, your testosterone will be low.
