Arimidex and conversion pathways...

[Junior21]

Ok I was just wondering the other night...
If arimidex is a full fledged aromitase inhibitor (more so than nolvadex) that means it almost completely blocks the conversion of teststerone to estrogen...so with that said wouldn't that mean that the excess testosterone would have to take another conversion pathway thus increasing the dht levels in your system which would ultimately lead to more side effects such as acne and balding? Just a thought, any endocrinologists on the board? What are your opinions...

Yes, since arimidex increases the concentration of test in the body, by inhibiting its aromatization, then it allows for more test to be converted to DHT.

If this is a concern, then use Finasteride, which is easy to obtain online nowadays.

It is a minor concern IMO, unless you're more prone to acne and balding than bloating and gyno. I think that problems with acne and balding are more genetic than anything else and merit appropriate prevention measures no matter what if you're prone. If not, then it's your call I guess.

So because I am prone to acne and taking L-dex, I stand a better chance of balding?

 

[Nathan]

That's not what I meant, sorry. Say you're prone to acne but not balding (or vice versa), then that could be more of a concern for you with higher levels of test that isn't aromatizing to estrogen as much. That's all I am saying. I guess I should have replaced those "and"'s with "or"'s or something.

Hey Nathan, what happened to AMAF's post about closing the vial once you take the top off? I can't seem to find it. THat was some funny shit.

It was still around an hour ago or so last time I checked. Did you try doing a search? Check out the chat board as well or just do a search on him getting fired.
