Bodybuilders that take anabolic steroids such as androstenedione and testosterone often suffer from gynecomasty (enlarged breasts) as a side effect. Knowing that in women breast growth is stimulated by estrogens, explain why this happens to bodybuilders using the law of mass action. Again, make sure to mention the substrate and product of the reaction.
