Ask away, if anything sharing info helps us to better our programs. For instance E1, (estrone) is derived from peripheral aromatization of androstenedione (mainly adrenal)".
E2 is produced primarily in ovaries and testes by aromatization of testosterone. Small amounts are produced in the adrenal glands and some peripheral tissues, most notably fat. By contrast, most of the circulating E1 is derived from peripheral aromatization of androstenedione (mainly adrenal). E2 and E1 can be converted into each other, and both can be inactivated via hydroxylation and conjugation. E2 demonstrates 1.25-5 times the biological potency of E1. E2 circulates at 1.5-4 times the concentration of E1 in premenopausal, nonpregnant women.
Hey Lotus, my tests came back and my androstenedione levels are like 14 mgl instead of 21. Could that mean the rest are getting converted to E???
