aromatization
here, I believe
"Estrogen increases in aging men (over 40) in large degree because it is produced from testosterone by a process called aromatization, which occurs particularly in fat cells.
In the aging male: Fat = Estrogen!
Reducing fatty tissue decreases the aromatization of testosterone to estrogen. Certain medications can also reduce aromatization. Testosterone is bound by Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) and protein. It is 98% bound and only the free 2% fraction is active. Increasing estrogen levels causes SHBG to increase in the aging male.

As far as I see in this sentence it refers to the process, not to the enzyme itself.

aromatase inhibitors
I believe, in this context
4 days
with the help of the aromatase of the adipose tissue
Although it is too late, but I think it is the enzyme and not the process according to the reference from medline:
AU: Cohen,-P-G SO: Med-Hypotheses. 1999 Jan; 52(1): 49-51 During the hypogonadal state, there is a preferential deposition of abdominal adipose tissue. With the increasing fatty-tissue accumulation, there is an increase of aromatase activity that is associated with a greater conversion of testosterone to estradiol (testosterone-estradiol shunt).
