I found this statement about AI's and rebound in another forum. What do you guys think about this and if Estrogen Rebound is real have would you argue against this:
Question:
"But I have a small question. What are the effects on your body (a male body) if you completely take away all of the estrogen? HeightFx, you've said that 2.5mg of letro can decrease estrogen by 99%-100%, so what happens when you do that for an extended period of time... say one year? I know that it'll stop your plates from ossifying, but aren't there downsides?
When you come off of a cycle of anti-estrogens, don't the estrogen levels peak? So wouldn't there be a high risk of gyno after stopping the use of letro for a year or more?"
Answer:
"Estrogen rebound after using anti-aromatase agents has never been proven from anything I can recall seeing. Its a theory amongst bodybuilders, but alot of bodybuilders arent exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer. Its possible.
But the rebound would be very very short lived as the body would immediately attempt to restore homeostasis. For gyno to develop, youd need to have a supraphysiological level of estrogen for an extended period of time. bodybuilders who develop gyno from not using anti-aromatase agents, dont develop it in a week, it usually takes several months of steroid use and thus exposure to a abnormal level of estrogen. If an estrogen rebound happens from aromatase inhibitors, its going to be on an ultra-short feedback mechanism and the body will correct it within a few days by increasing sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels. SHBG is the bodies major "after the fact" regulator of sex hormones by binding to them and deactivating them. The body prefers to stop the hormone product at the source, where its produced. But after the fact, if it needs to regulate the hormone levels, it uses its sex hormone binding globulin. SHBG is a two sided sword basically. It also deactivates testosterone. This is BAD for height growth, because you want the highest level of testosterone possible to stimulate the highest degree of height growth possible. Therefore SHBG is the enemy."
