I see terms like Aromatizable and Non-Aromatizable steroids thrown around here a lot, but I cannot find a clear overview of these, even on the net.
This is what I have so far:
Aromatizable seems to mean steroids (Testosterone and dhea and ?) that can be converted by aromatase into estrogen.
Non-aromatizable seems to mean steroids (dht and androsterone and ?) (are these 5-AR derived steroids?) that cannot be converted by aromatase into estrogen.
Are there more?
Why is this important?
I also see talked of "saturated" steroids (androsterone?), but I have no idea what this means or why this is important.
Can anyone give a high level view of this?
I am trying to understand this, so I can better deal with my situation (60, PFS, tummy fat, anxiety, bad sleep).
Thanks.
