Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4

Anti-aromatase agents are substances that inhibit the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for the conversion of androgens (such as testosterone) into estrogens. Their use in supporting the testes and related body systems is grounded in scientific evidence, particularly in the context of male reproductive health and endocrinology. In certain conditions, such as hypogonadism, infertility, or testosterone deficiency, excessive aromatization can lead to elevated estrogen levels, which may suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, leading to reduced luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion and, consequently, decreased endogenous testosterone production by the testes.

Clinical studies have shown that aromatase inhibitors (such as anastrozole and letrozole) can increase testosterone levels and improve sperm parameters in some men with infertility or low testosterone, particularly when high estrogen levels are a contributing factor. These effects are attributed to the reduction in negative feedback on the HPG axis, resulting in increased gonadotropin release and stimulation of the testes. However, anti-aromatase agents are not indicated for general enhancement and may have side effects, including decreased bone mineral density and altered lipid profiles. Their use should be medically supervised and reserved for specific indications with demonstrated aromatase excess or imbalance.
