Libido

Outcome Reproductive

Sexual desire. Needs androgen, a workable estradiol level and prolactin that is not elevated, so it fails from several directions at once.

Libido stimulates

Estrogen Receptor alpha

The estrogen receptor that dominates breast tissue, liver and the pituitary feedback loop. Gynecomastia and much of the negative feedback on LH run through it.

Libido suppresses

Progesterone Receptor

The progesterone receptor. 19-nor steroids are structurally close enough to progesterone to activate it, which is why nandrolone and trenbolone produce progestogenic side effects that an aromatase inhibitor cannot touch.
