Aromatase Inhibitor Strategy

Meaning

Aromatase Inhibitor Strategy is a specific clinical intervention focused on modulating the enzymatic conversion of androgens into estrogens within peripheral tissues. This therapeutic approach utilizes pharmacological agents to selectively block the aromatase enzyme, thereby reducing circulating estrogen levels. It is primarily employed in men to manage supraphysiological estrogen resulting from testosterone therapy, or in specific oncology settings. The strategy aims to maintain a healthier androgen-to-estrogen ratio, mitigating potential estrogen-related side effects.
