Estrogens & protein synthesis

[grapes5]

What does estrogen do to testosterone in the body ?

 

[Mobster]

Directly - none. Women can synthesize protein with their estrogen levels.

You need some estrogen to up regulate the androgen receptors..
That’s all I know when it comes to building muscle.
I do know it helps a little with strength n loobricarion of the joints.

But that’s a bout it.

not really something i care about bro but you do need estrogen as men to function normally.

A LOT of guys reading this right now have low estrogen due to running too much AI

I'm not really sure I always keep my estrogen in check.

I personally don't really run into estrogen issues, and only need a little adex when running things like dianabol. How high levels of estrogen affect protein synthesis is an interesting question though, but unfortunately something I don't know the answer to. There's a lot of good info in this thread though, and I'll definitely be following along.

Can anyone give a definitive answer as to what effect if any estrogen, and especially elevated levels of estrogen, has on the process of protein synthesis? You obviously don't "blow up" as much using adex ob cycle, but what effect does it have on a cellular level?

Minimal effect on protein synthesis. Estrogen just needs controlled correctly
