Decreased libido : If you are referring to estrogen level modulation in males recieving exogenous testosterones, then Arimidex (anastrozole) can be an important modulator of serum estrogen/estradiol levels. Occasional with transdermals, but more often with injectable testosterone, estrogen levels may elevate beyound normal. Serum estradiols between 20 to 40 pg/ml are perfect. Below 20 you may see increasing erectile dysfunction.
