A member asked:
Is it true that testosterone being converted to oestrogen and not the testosterone itself is what closes growth plates?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it is true : Yes it is true testosterone is converted to Estradiol by astamatase and that is resposible for closure of growth plate. So in a way testosterone is indirectly responsible for closing the growth plates by converting to estradiol(estrogen).
