A snippet from the conclusions:
" In summary, serum estradiol concentration has not been found to be associated with breast-chest difference or Tanner stage in transgender individuals. However, ensuring suppression of testosterone might be an important factor to promote maximal breast development. Limited data are available examining bra cup size or development of the nipple-areolar complex and this requires further study."
In other words, this study hints that for breast development exact Estradiol concentration isn't necessarily as important as Testosterone suppression, as so many others have also indicated.
Any comments?
