xenoestrogens and muscle mass
so, i'm sitting here studying for my endocrinology exam and something hits me. estrone (from high levels of testosterone or conversion of androsteindione) mediates the actions of xenoestrogens [eg. from tofu etc] by activating the ERbeta receptors in the sertoli cells of the testes. the result of this is endocrine disruption (xenoestrogens are called estrogenic endocrine disruptors) and a drop in natural testosterone production and function.
so, after all that my question is: does anyone know of any good studies with xenoestrogens, or more importantly, a good list of foods to avoid while on steroids or andro. or secondly a way to block xenoestrogens with an antagonist.
any input would be much appreciated.
