Estradiol

The steroid hormone estradiol is the main estrogen (one of its many isomers) in the human body and is found in the blood and genitals. It is produced by the ovaries, uterus and other tissues.

Estradiol hormone exhibits greater activity among all estrogen hormones because it has a high potency to act on female sex hormones, but in addition, it acts on many organs of the female body. During pregnancy (last three months), estradiol dominates over estrone. This circumstance carries a potentially positive and negative character for the development of the fetus in the womb. But at most

Estradiol is a word made up of two parts est (from Latin estro - “childbirth” and 3аl1, that is, “ether”). This is a hormone that is produced mainly by the ovarian follicles. It is also formed in the placenta, although in smaller quantities. This main female steroid and estrogen hormone controls fertility in women, the growth of the uterus and mammary glands, promotes the development of bone tissue, and is involved in the regulation of the menstrual cycle. Affects the ability to conceive.

For the first time, estradiol appears in the body of a woman’s embryonic development (days 16-18), and then it is gradually released from passing through the uterine mucosa. In addition, during pregnancy, estradiol acidosis (during pregnancy, the woman’s body produces the smallest amount of this hormone) is formed from a small proportion of DHEA and DHEAS. In the male body, this hormone is produced in much smaller quantities.
