A closer look at each of the three fat storing hormones will provide meaningful information related to understanding how they work in making and storing fat.
Insulin
Insulin is a metabolic hormone that is made by the pancreas. It plays a vital role in regulating blood sugar levels after eating.

The glucose that is not needed by the cells is converted into fat and cholesterol.
