Anastrozole Aromatase Inhibition

Meaning

This refers to the specific pharmacological action of the drug Anastrozole, which functions as a potent, selective non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor. Clinically, it is used to suppress the peripheral conversion of androgens (like testosterone) into estrogens (like estradiol) in various tissues, including fat, muscle, and the adrenal glands. This reduction in circulating estrogen levels is a critical therapeutic goal in certain endocrine-sensitive conditions.
