What would happen if Aromatase turned much of a man`s testosterone levels into estrogen?
I'd like to create a story in which a genetically modified man has Aromatase Excess syndrome.
For example, if a man has a genetic mutation where he produces a lot of aromatase that turns 10% of his testosterone levels into estrogen (specially estradiol), what would happen to his body?
Consider that the fictitious man in this case has a testosterone level of 500 ng/dl or 5ng/ml and aromatase is turning 10% of his testosterone into estrogens. A healthy level of estrogen in a young woman is between 80-200 pg/ml of blood, then 10% of 500000pg (500ng) is 50000 picograms or 50nanograms of estrogen.
What would happen if a man had 50000 pg of estradiol, which is many times higher than the average level of estrogen in a woman?
