    Another study on 12 men using 2.5mgs weekly to normalize HPTA from obesity induced suppression.

    Another good one using high doses of Letrozole, the T increases were over 300%.

    hey heavy iron,
    is there any relation between SHBG levels, and letrozole...all i knew was to either use stanazolol 50mg eod or proviron.... some guy told me about letrozole greatly reduces SHBG levels... need to know if it is correct...

    thanks

    Letro does lower SHBG some.

    Abstract

    Context: Aging in men is associated with a decline in serum testosterone (T) levels.
    Objective: Our objective was to assess whether decreased T in aging might result from increased estradiol (E2) negative feedback on gonadotropin secretion.
    Design and Setting: We conducted a comparative intervention study (2004) in the Outpatient Endocrinology Clinic, Ghent University Hospital.
    Participants: Participants included healthy young and elderly men (n = 10 vs. 10).
    Interventions: We used placebo and letrozole (2.5 mg/d) for 28 d, separated by 2 wk washout.
    Main Outcome Measures: We assessed changes in serum levels of free E2, LH, and FSH, free T, SHBG, and gonadotropins response to an iv 2.5-μg GnRH bolus.
    Results: As assessed after 28 d of treatment, letrozole lowered E2 by 46% in the young men (P = 0.002) and 62% in the elderly men (P < 0.001). In both age groups, letrozole, but not placebo, significantly increased LH levels (339 and 323% in the young and the elderly, respectively) and T (146 and 99%, respectively) (P value of young vs. elderly was not significant). Under letrozole, peak LH response to GnRH was 152 and 52% increase from baseline in young and older men, respectively (P = 0.01).
    Conclusions: Aromatase inhibition markedly increased basal LH and T levels and the LH response to GnRH in both young and elderly men. The observation of similar to greater LH responses in the young compared with the elderly does not support the hypothesis that increased restraining of LH secretion by endogenous estrogens is instrumental in age-related decline of Leydig cell function.

    Note that Letro does not lower E2 by 98% as some claim. But instead by about 50% just like any other AI. And that's on young and elderly men who are not on exogeneous suprphysiological doses of testosterone either. 98% E2 reduction was noted in a study done on women with breast cancer.

    Yup, I have been making this point for a long time now. Female studies are useless when it comes to E2 suppression from AI's in men.

    So then it comes the late debate,test+a.i pre contest or non aromatize anabolics?Personal experience proved that the second option is best...Even at 5mg of letro per day my estrogen were still high at 750mg of test per week and i had to use a lot of diuretics to drop the water,i end up flat and bad..my first contest i droped test the last 3weeks and used masteron+var only,i came up hard and dry without even using a diuretic...The conclusion is use your ai to control estro levels but still they will be higher than normal,not optimal when chasing perfection..

    A friend said that Letro would get rid of entirely starting gyno, Although after doing my research on here i don't think he's right. What is the truth? Just curious. Thank you

    Post #3 is good evidence that Letro does cure/reduce new gyno symptoms. I would definitely give it a try before opting for surgery brother.

    If it only blocks about 50% of E2, then what is the reason to use it over aromasin, adex etc. ?
