Aromatase Modulation

Meaning

Aromatase modulation is a therapeutic strategy involving the regulation of the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible for the peripheral conversion of androgens (like testosterone) into estrogens (like estradiol). In clinical practice, modulation often means inhibition to prevent excessive estrogen levels, particularly in men undergoing testosterone therapy or in conditions characterized by estrogen dominance. Maintaining an optimal androgen-to-estrogen ratio is vital for metabolic and skeletal health in both sexes.
