Nathan Goodyear on 15 Nov 13Life extesnsions rebuttal to recent JAMA study. There was several significant flaws in that study and thus limited evidence can be gained by that study. In fact, I find no useful clinical information from that study. In the rebuttal, there are flaws. The reference the low serum T after treatment and correctly discuss aromatase activity. But they fail the mention that the less than optimal serum T is likely the result of the high aromatase activity in these men. Age, stress, and weight are primary causes of increases estrogen production in these men. These would be why likely high estrogen production occurred and less than optimal serum T resulted. And, increased E2 will cause an increase in CRP which can precipitate CVD events.
