What is arimidex?
Arimidex is the aromatase inhibitor of choice. Arimidex's mechanism of action - blocking conversion of aromatizable steroids to estrogen - is in contrast to the mechanism of action of anti-estrogens such as clomiphene (Clomid) or (Nolvadex), which block estrogen receptors in some tissues, and activate estrogen receptors in others.
Application of Anastrozole
Arimidex is an anti estrogen hormone developed for the treatment of breast cancer. This drug is one of the third generation selective aromatase inhibitors. It works by blocking aromatase, thereby reducing the production of estrogen in the body.
When men take these drugs to reduce femininity in steroid therapy, aromatase inhibitors may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, because aromatase inhibitors reduce the beneficial effects of estrogen and the quality of cholesterol. Studies have shown that the development of benign HDL cholesterol levels is greatly inhibited when aromatase steroids such as testosterone heptaneate are taken with aromatase inhibitors.
Because tamoxifen, an estrogen receptor agonist / antagonist, usually does not have the same anti estrogen (malignant) effect on cholesterol levels, it is still more popular than aromatase inhibitors in maintaining estrogen levels for male fitness shapers and athletes who are concerned about cardiovascular health.
