DHT levels and ARIMIDEX.

[Yozzer]

Should one be concerned about high levels of dht when on arimidex alone?

Antiaromitase is going to block aromitase enzymes leaving more circulating testosterone to bind to androgen receptors and 5-alpha reductase enzymes which will convert test into DHT.

However, it is also going to leave very low estrogen levels. The body is preprogramed to reach a particular ratio of test:estrogen. Estrogen is absolutely necessary for several functions detrimental to normal functioning (such as dendritic branching of neurons, cellular metabolism, etc). The body will regulate itself in order to keep an adequate amount in the system. The most obvious mode of regulation would be to transcribe additional aromitase enzymes... With this high concentration of aromitase, one would be screwed if he ever stopped taking Arimidex.

Don't take this the wrong way buddy, but have you actually answered my question? You've told me the test will convert to dht and i will have low estrogen levels?

lol @ yozzer!!

Yeah, Stew can you type in english next time.

Yes, you could possibly have higher DHT levels, but no, you shouldn't be concerned because the increase wouldn't be much. What you need to worry about is what is going to happen when you stop taking the Arimidex.

Stew Meat, ok, now you got me worried about what's going to happen when i stop the arimidex. Could you explain a little more. Like...why I should be worrying and what I can do about it? Seems to me you're saying taking arimidex is bad.

Read my first post in this thread and you'll see what can happen. Arimidex is NOT bad. It is only BAD when used while not on a cycle containing testosterone or its analogs...

Stew Meat, not too long ago you replied to a post of mine regarding low testosterone levels. You advised me to use anti-estrogen therapy alongside training to raise my t levels. I'm assuming you said this so that I could eliminate any free circulating aromatise in my system, down regulate it dramatically, which will in turn signal the hypothalamus to produce gonadotropin releasing hormone, which, as we know, is the catalyst in endogenous testosterone production.
Are you now telling me that this is harmful? I'm getting confused bro. Can you clear this up. Are you saying now that I shouldn't use anti-estrogen therapy?

stew...

if im getting on a EQ only cycle, and taking armidex ED (1/4 tab) i can run into problems when i discontinue it?

Can someone clear this up? Stew meat you've really confused me, I'd appreciate it if you could come back at us on this one.
