Abstract

Aromatase inhibitors play a significant role in a variety of physiological functions, including reproduction. Aromatase is a naturally occurring mechanism within the body that converts testosterone to estradiol. Obviously, sustained testosterone levels are essential for male animals, so they must be maintained. Consequently, aromatase blockers can be used to inhibit the aromatization process. Aromatase inhibitors can increase testosterone levels. Despite the fact that this therapy has been extensively adopted due to its low risk and absence of down-regulation, dosing at a certain age must still be considered.
