    Body fat and Estrogen?

    Ok so im going to start a new thread for this coz I cant find ne information on the internet about this except for like mens health stuff and in cleo womens articles.

    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/??

    You might want to post this in the diet forum instead of the steroid forum.

    Fat cells are loaded with aromatase and store large quantities of estrogen. The higher your percentage of body fat, the more estrogen you can produce and the fatter you will be unless you control your diet and exercise to lower estrogen production. As you reduce stored body fat, your estrogen conversion will be reduced and the liklyhood of estrogen related disorders are greatly reduced.
