Nathan Goodyear on 21 Aug 13Great confusion exists in the medical profession about Testosterone and PSA and the health of the prostate. The conversion of Estrogen, whether E2 or E1, and other variables are responsible for increases in PSA while on Testosterone therapy. This study points out that Estradiol in men stimulates cell line growth of prostate cancer. In contrast, Epitestosterone, an androgen metabolite, has antiandrogen, inhibits this estrogen activity. Epitestosterone exists in an inverse relationship to Estradiol and IGF-1.
