The only reason I could think of that you would want to do that is to prevent further growth of estrogen dependent glandular tissue. Keeping in mind that once the cells differentiate, further inhibition of the hormonal stimulus is useless. in laman terms, you gotta block the estradiol stimulus at the cell receptor before you get manboobs.
You could get on a selective Aromataze inhibitor such as Anastrozole, which would decrease your serum Estradiol by an average of 37% when 1mg is taken bi-weekly according to this study >>> http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15001605
Estradiol is important for sexual function, completely inhibition is likely to cause diminished libido.
My doc has me on Anastrozole 1mg biweekely because my testosterone was 1540ng/dl (well above the 99th percentile) which caused my estradiol to be 48pg/mL (also well above the 99th percentile). I have never taken anabolic steroids, but both my grandparents died of prostate cancer, which is the result of excess Androgens and androgen responsive prostate tissue.
Anastrozole didn't affect my total T, but it increased my free T from 180pg/ml to 211pg/ml, my estradiol decreased to 31pg/mL.
So if you figure out why you wanna get on an aromatase inhibitor and then choose to do so, get baseline blood work, and after taking the drug for a few weeks get another blood work done to see the affects.
Hope that helps.Last edited by sailingpece; 05-12-2012 at 02:10 PM.
Correlation does not imply causation. The Plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence".
When you believe in things you don't understand you suffer, superstition aint the way.
Lets Not talk about what COULD be, nor what WOULD be, but rather what really is.
I'm not an MD, nor am I a bro scientist.

toremifene is a more potent estrogen inhibitor than Anastrozole, yet HDL goes up and and LDL goes down in people who take it >>> http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21638048
This same study found that HDL and LDL remain stable for those who took Anastrozole...Correlation does not imply causation. The Plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence".
