Nowadays, most people tend to think of the hormones, oestrogen and testosterone as being exclusively male or female. But the actual reality of it is that women and men produce both hormones, because our bodies need a healthy balance of them both for healthy bone development, muscles and sex drive.
The downside to this is that the balance between the oestrogen and testosterone levels can change, especially the older we get. This can have a more adverse effect on men as they get older as they will begin to produce more oestrogen and less testosterone. This is not good as over production of oestrogen in men can lead to a heightened risk of blood clots, encourages middle-aged spread (and ‘man boobs’ ), an increase in heart problems and may also play a part in the problems faced with diabetes and the prostate.
But not all these problems are related to age. Some experts believe these changes are occuring more often, and at a younger age, due to more oestrogen being in our everyday environment.
Oestrogen analogs are in plastics, processed foods, drinking water (as a result of urine from women taking birth control pills), flushing dated birth control pills down the toilet plus chemicals and pesticides. They are more present as conventional water treatment systems are not able to remove it. The end result is the same, men are being increasingly feminized.
Feminization in bodybuilders is becoming more occurant because of the use of anabolic steroids. Due to their low level of body fat, bodybuilders and other athletes are sometimes afflicted with gynecomastia in its purest form. Gynecomastia in most adults is composed of glandular tissue but can also contain varying quantities of adipose and fibrous tissue.
Treatment of pure gynecomastia can be done only by removal of the breast tissue, which in the case of bodybuilders, is sufficient to achieve a flat nipple-areola complex.
A good way for bodybuilders to avoid these fibrous tissue build ups is to use a supplement with a high forskolin content. Forskolin raises cAMP levels in fat cells, this is important because it boosts lipolysis function. Forskolin exerts powerful lypolitic effects as well as being a potent anabolic agent. It increases cAMP independently of adrenaline providing increased energy without the need to use any type of traditional stimulant like caffeine, and without the undesirable effects of stimulants.
Forskolin and Testosterone helps cAMP increase anabolism, which is a crucial signal for steroidogenesis (testosterone production) in the Leydig cells of the testes. By increasing levels of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), you are helping to achieve higher levels of androgen.
Androgen is a Leydig cell cholesterol protein and is the main building block for testosterone production. So its important for bodybuilders to find the right supplement with the right balance of these crucial proteins without any of the unwanted side effects.by ABMN Staff
