So, guys, Derek, more plates, more dates.com.

Today we're going to be talking about the importance or lack thereof of estrogen.

There's a ongoing debate in the bodybuilding, hormone replacement, optimization, like

a bunch of different subsects of, you know, demographic that overlap with, you know,

testosterone, aromatizing to estrogen the use of

TRT, aromatase inhibitors, gear, aromatase inhibitors, etc. And there's an ongoing debate about

if aromatase inhibitors should be used, their detriment and or lack thereof, and exactly what

estrogen even does because, you know, we've often heard things like, you know, it's the cause of, you know, weight gain or it does because you know we've often heard things like you know it's the cause of

you know weight gain or it's you know the female hormone is just going to give you tits that sort of thing

but in this article we actually get into the true elucidation of its effects with other variables managed

and we've talked about estrogen's importance before.

I did a video about testosterone as not neuroprotective estrogen is.

This is a very, very interesting study that almost no one saw.

This is back when I got a lot less views and this video in general is just a very information-heavy

video, but they actually

assessed the effects of neurotoxicity as a result of testosterone use in different dosages,

nandrolone in different dosages, wind stroll in different dosages. I forget what other anabolic,

those might have been the few, but you could see a essentially dose dependencedependence response in neurotoxicity, but this was,

regardless of the compound selected, it was due to the estrogen. At a physiological level,

there is a layer of neuroprotection offered against the neurotoxicity of escalating super-physiological

doses of androgens. And again, even at like borderline, I don't know, therapeutic levels for things that are synthetic,

it seems like, you know, there's some potential neurotoxicity outcomes.
