Pharmacological Aromatase Inhibition

Meaning

Pharmacological Aromatase Inhibition is the therapeutic use of synthetic drug compounds to suppress the activity of the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible for converting androgens, such as testosterone, into estrogens, such as estradiol. This clinical intervention is primarily used to manage estrogen-dependent conditions or to precisely modulate the testosterone-to-estrogen balance in men undergoing testosterone replacement therapy. It is a potent and precise method for achieving specific endocrine control and preventing estrogenic side effects.
