Does aromasin inhibit the conversion of test to estrogen?
OR
Does it block E receptors? Much like how Nolvadex (tamoxifen) works???

Aromasin binds to the aromatase enzyme preventing it from converting T to E.
"it functions as a falsify substrate for the aromatase enzyme, & is litigated to an common, which bonds in an irreversible manner to the active site of the enzyme causing its deactivation, a consequence as well called suicide inhibition."

basically it binds to the aromatase enzyme instead of test, so instead of blocking the already formed estrogen from the receptor, it blocks the test from binding to the enzyme and converting to estrogen. lowering TOTAL estrogen, and increasing free/unbound test
So is that what is what trying to tell me??
Im a little rusty on the specifics so may be mistaken, but anastrozole, letrozole and aromasin all work by inactivating the aromatase enzyme and have no effect on the actual estrogen receptor. The aromatase enzyme is responsible for converting androgens into estrogens so the more of the arotatase enzyme that is inhibited the less there is to convert androgens to estrogen thereby reducing the amount of estrogen create by that conversion process.
Aromasin permanently binds to the enzyme, making it unable to do its job (convert T to E). It basically 'kills' the enzyme (which is why it's referred to as a 'suicide inhibitor'). The enzyme is then useless until it is regenerated.
Arimidex simply competes with T to bind to the enzyme.
They work differently.
the mechanisms of inhibition also explain why adex and letro have a rebound whereas aromasin does not.
aromasin eliminates the enzyme, whereas letro and adex block it, so when there is no more of this drug, the test floods into the enzymes and converts.
when you stop aromasin, you have to essentially wait for the body to produce more aromatase enzyme which is a slow process. my only confusion, is that if the body senses deactivated aromatase enzyme, would it create more, as a reaction to taking aromasin? and you would become tolerant to it?

Maximal suppression of serum estrogen concentration (22-37% suppression) was achieved 3-4 days after single-dose administration of exemestane (25 mg or 50 mg), and almost no suppression was observed 2 weeks later. A significant decrease in the amount of urinary estrogen excretion occurred on day 4 and day 8 after exemestane administration. The level of urinary estrogen excretion almost returned to baseline levels in the 25 mg group and returned to 65% of baseline levels in the 50 mg group 2 weeks after drug administration.
