a) Adverse effects of estrogen in men
From International Antiaging Systems:
"Along with this decline in testosterone with age and lifestyle, many
men also experience increases in the levels of estrogen. The result is
a testosterone/estrogen imbalance that directly causes many of the
debilitating health problems associated with normal aging. The vast
majority of men are surprised to learn that estrogen (a ‘female’
hormone) is also present in their bodies. It is produced in very small
amounts as a by-product of the testosterone conversion process. In
fact, balanced levels of estrogen in men are essential to encourage a
healthy libido, improved brain function, protect the heart and
strengthen the bones . . . high levels of estrogen can cause reduced
levels of testosterone, fatigue, loss of muscle tone, increased body
fat, loss of libido and sexual function and an enlarged prostate.
Other problems associated with excessive levels of estrogen include
(1) The shut down of normal testicular production of testosterone.
Excess estrogen can saturate testosterone receptors in the
hypothalamus in the brain therefore reducing the signal sent to the
pituitary gland. This in turn reduces the secretion of luteinizing
hormone, which is necessary for the gonads to produce testosterone.
(2) Increasing the body's production of sex hormone-binding globulin
(SHBG). SHBG binds testosterone therefore reducing the amount of the
clinical important free testosterone in the blood available to cell
receptor sites.
(3) A reduced effectiveness of the testosterone replacement therapy
due to excess aromatization of testosterone medications to estrogen.
(4) Long-term health risks including an increased risk of diabetes,
heart disease, and some cancers."

He would become more effeminate. Actually, when athletes overdose on steroids (synthetic testosterone), their bodies convert the extra synthetic testosterone to estrogen, which causes their breast growth, etc.
