Body fat and Estrogen?

[kbm12345]

So i posted this in the steroid forum part and they said I would get more help over here in the diet section.

I want to know how much body fat plays a role on estrogen production?

And also if you are at like 20%BF and you lose weight to say 12%, will your bodys fat cells keep producing estrogen? Because from what I have heard once you have accumlated fat cells you can't get rid of them.

Or do the fat cells become completely inactive when there is no fat in them/??

they dont produce estrogen, they store it. (from what i know.... unless i'm wrong, someone chime in).

i believe if the fat cell is empty and you are lean, there is no storage of estrogen IN those fat cells anylonger. (again, chime in if im incorrect)

This is correct.
