Has anyone looked into this enzyme? It's responsible for turning androgens into estrogen, and the reason that older men start to lose testosterone and gain estrogen.
Is it possible to just let this enzyme do all the work and reduce the need for HRT?

extracting a large amount of a human enzyme is not exactly a medically ethical process, and certainly not something you could build a pharma business around
germline gene therapy seems like your only option here, good luck

And yet it's produced by certain parts of the body. Like fat cells. why not craft a custom type of fat cell that produces extra armotase? Or is that estrone that those make?
Or Sertoli Cells. Why not provoke the creation of extra ones of those? Or just remove the leydig cells?

i think the increase is like neglible from fat stores. I think age is the biggest factor

Isn't that just what breast cancer is? It produces excess aromatase in breast tissue
