From J Clin Invest. 1969 December;48(12): 2191-2201:Continuous infusions of Δ4-androstenedione-7-3H and testosterone-7-3H have been used to demonstrate that these androgens are converted to estrone and 17β-estradiol, and contribute to the circulating blood levels of these estrogens in normal males and females.Note the appearance of the phrase "...in normal males and females" (emphasis mine).wrong men do have estrogen, its made from testosterone by the aromotise enzyme.

Does more estrogen balance excess testosterone in women?
Found the following at http://www.diagnose-me.com/cond/C621300.html under Recommendations and Treatments for high Testosterone Level: Hormone - Estrogen Replacement "Low estrogens allow the circulating androgens and testosterone to be more freely available and thus stimulate cells more. Increasing the circulating estrogen in the blood by taking estrogens will increase the proteins that bind the androgens and help decrease the effects of all androgens, whether the levels are normal or excessive." Also from http://www.drmirkin.com/women/1233.html "Just taking birth control pills markedly lower a woman's blood levels of testosterone because the estrogen in birth control pills shuts down the brain that produces FSH the hormone that causes the ovaries to produce testosterone." Not certain on the reliability of these sources, but either or both might be correct. So the higher your estrogen level, the lower your testosterone level will be? x
Does testim help restore libido?
Yes, Testim and other androgen replacement gels/patches can increase testosterone levels and libido, IF: your free testosterone level was low before using it; if your level was already 25 or over , it will probably of little additional benefit. Also if you are over 40-45 years old, you may be experiencing andropause. It is worth noting that estrogen and testosterone are very similar, both being made from cholesterol. Older men may continue to produce normal amount of testosterone, which can then change back ("aromatize") into estrogen. The result is that no matter how much testosterone you have, or add, your free testosterone levels will decrease and your estrogen levels will increase. I would advise a free testosterone(normal 15-25) and estrogen level(normal 50-100) be obtained before starting Testim. If your estrogenlevels are high, a better approach would be to skip the Testim and start Arimidex 1mg, 1/2 tab Mon-Wed-Fri.This should normalize BOTH levels.
