The Claim
Male obesity causes excess estriol levels in men.
The claim is not supported by the evidence. Research on obesity in men consistently shows increased conversion of androgens into estradiol, and sometimes estrone, in adipose tissue; it does not show that obesity causes excess estriol. Because estriol is a distinct estrogen and the cited studies do not document elevated estriol in obese men, the claim is false as written.
