Abstract
Fat cell size was determined in the gluteal, femoral and hypogastric regions of subcutaneous adipose tissue in men with carcinoma of the prostate before and after 5--6 months of estrogen treatment. Body weight and several metabolic variables did not change. Gluteal fat cell size increased. It was suggested that increase of the gluteal fat cell size is a characteristic effect of estrogens on adipose tissue because a similar increase has been previously found in young women in comparison with young men.Entities:
