Stinging nettle root extract can rectify this by inhibiting the process of aromatization (conversion of testosterone to estrogen
by enzyme aromatase).
Excess exogenous testosterone is converted to estrogen
by the enzyme aromatase.
Not exact matches
Testosterone benefit appears mediated
by conversion to estradiol via the
aromatase enzyme.
Studies show that nettle extracts do boost testosterone levels
by inhibiting the action of
enzyme aromatase that converts free testosterone to estrogen as well as binding with the Sex hormone binding globulin that arrests free testosterone.
[1] Testosterone can be converted to DHT (dihydrotestosterone) or alternatively, it can be converted to estadiol
by the
aromatase enzyme.
Even with ovaries removed, women make estrogen, primarily
by an
aromatase enzyme in body fat and breasts that converts an adrenal hormone, androstenedione, into estrone.
Some vegetables may inhibit
aromatase, the
enzyme used
by breast cancer tumors to produce their own estrogen.
In the early 1980's it was found to have the ability to inhibit the conversion of testosterone into estrogens
by inhibiting the
enzyme called
aromatase.
High insulin or insulin resistance from blood sugar imbalance also contributes to estrogen dominance
by increasing the activity of an
enzyme call
aromatase, which is linked to the production of estrogen
Similarly to their estrogen lowering effects
by inhibiting the
aromatase enzyme, both progesterone and Vitamin E also work
by directly blocking estrogen receptors.
For example, what if spearmint tea works
by increasing the
aromatase enzyme, the
enzyme which creates estrogen via conversion from testosterone, and thus increases overall estrogen levels too?
The reason:
By blocking the 5 - alpha reductase enzyme they're actually giving free rein to another substance called aromatase — an enzyme in your body that, when left alone, wreaks absolute havoc in your body by converting testosterone into estradiol — the most powerful form of estroge

Part of the mechanism is
by androgenic interference with the estrogen receptor (ER) and lowering circulating estrogen levels
by competitively inhibiting the
aromatase enzyme.
