Lotus, does that say what I think it says??...

Lol yes, although it's a bit more involved then what it implies.

This review article discusses a novel nontraditional site of estrogen synthesis and the potential targets of estrogen action within the male reproductive system. Our laboratories have recently demonstrated that developing spermatids in several species contain aromatase, the cytochrome P450 enzyme responsible for converting androgens into estrogens.

oK then I just have to ask...
Would men's sperm be a significant source of aromatase?

I think so, the study concluded that Leydig cells, germ cells, and seminiferous tubules all showed positive stains for aromatase.

I think so, the study concluded that Leydig cells, germ cells, and seminiferous tubules all showed positive stains for aromatase. But it has to do more with the head (tip) of sperm.

I take that back, it's the tail that has the most aromatase and the head of the epididymis displays estrogen receptors where estrogen synthesis occurs.

So, its like shrimp?
Pull the head and eat the tail?

But can you buy it from Swansons?

I think we missed the final clearance sale.

So everybody see's where Leydig cells/receptors sit right?,

That's our Lotus....back to the serious stuff.
Well, if it's any help....I'm particular about the aromatase that I ....um...er...harvest.
