lets talk Prolactin and Progesterone

While reading through a lot of members cycle topics I noticed something in common. Taking a anti-E, how much or when? The battle against Estrogen sides! Maybe those estrogen sides effects are not from the test?

[h=3]Interactions with other steroid hormones[/h]Progesterone has a number of physiological effects that are amplified in the presence of Estrogens. Estrogens through estrogen receptors (ERs) induce or upregulate the expression of the PR. One example of this is in breast tissue, where estrogens allow progesterone to mediate lobuloalveolar development.
Elevated levels of progesterone potently reduce the sodium-retaining activity of aldosterone, resulting in natriuresis and a reduction in extracellular fluid volume. Progesterone withdrawal, on the other hand, is associated with a temporary increase in sodium retention (reduced natriuresis, with an increase in extracellular fluid volume) due to the compensatory increase in aldosterone production, which combats the blockade of the mineralocorticoid receptor by the previously elevated level of progesterone.

[FONT=&quot]Steroids like deca/NPP and tren are known to raise prolactin levels when ran with other steroids such as testosterone. These steroids: deca and tren, are from the 19-nor testosterone family and are recognized by the body as a progestin. Progestins have the ability to increase prolactin levels.

[FONT=&quot]Now there are a few things other than nandrolone or trenbolone that can raise prolactin.... The possibility of prolactin problems from testosterone are VERY slim and unlikely by the way. Another is Peptides. Various growth hormone releasing peptides can increase prolactin levels such as GHRP-6, GHRP-2, Hexarelin, and a few others. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]So in addition to running Arimidex or Aromasin to take care of estrogen, we must also run ancillaries to take care of prolactin if needed.

[FONT=&quot]Point is maybe taking all those anti e's because of estro sides might be pissing in the wind. something to think about.
