Aromatase inhibiting drugs (Arimidex) have been traditionally used to treat women with estrogen dependent breast cancers, as estrogens are produced in fat cells via these enzymes in a process called aromatisation. (musclegelz.com)
In these cases where an excess of aromatisation exists the use of an aromatase inhibitor can help obtain a healthy estrogen: testosterone balance. (musclegelz.com)
However in cases where low testosterone levels are not related to excessive aromatisation the use of aromatase inhibitors on their own are of little benefit. (musclegelz.com)
