If you haven't seen it, the information is in this forum, particularly in the Anti-Androgen thread. Trust me, I've spent the time researching this on other forums. I've found that HRT is reported as "safe" under a doctors care, so let's present all the facts to the newcomers before someone tells them need implants.
I'll give a quick reason as to why I think this is possible,
Leydig cells, which produce the primary male steroid hormone testosterone (T), express the two estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes, ERalpha and ERbeta, and have the capacity to convert testosterone to the natural estrogen 17beta-estradiol. Thus, Leydig cells are subject to estrogen action.
Your reply is promising. But when you say you have "function" do you mean the ability to produce fertile sperm, or just get an erection? I am not really worried about having an erection, but producing the fertile sperm is what I would like to stay. Could you give me a link to the "Anti-Androgen thread"? I could not find it...
