[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 210219, member: 38109"] One line of thought is the that average levels for these metabolites are pretty similar when the same amounts of testosterone are used. However, peak and trough levels may be attenuated relative to testosterone—lower peaks, higher troughs—when testosterone varies relatively quickly. Both estradiol and DHT have longer serum half-lives than testosterone, which may contribute to this effect. The implications for subjective results aren't so clear. Anecdotally guys have reported less estrogenic action when using testosterone propionate versus longer esters. If this effect is real then is it related to a lower E2:T ratio in the upper part of the cycle, in spite of a higher E2:T ratio in the lower part of the cycle? Alternatively, or in addition, is the time spent with lower absolute estradiol important? [/QUOTE]
