Short description: Estradiol is a sex hormone.
Citation of a publication: Reference: Acta Crystallogr., Sect. B 28 (1972) p560 Authors: B. Busetta, M. Hospital
IUPAC name: Estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17-beta-diol
Layman's explanation: Estradiol is a steroid with two alcohol or hydroxy groups that is synthesized by the ovaries, placenta, and testis. This chemical is the most potent of the mammalian estrogenic hormones. This hormone is responsible for the development of female sex organs, and it modulates the menstrual cycle. Estradiol slows the breakdown of bones and is prescribed to women that do not produce estradiol. Estradiol was found to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and to help with the regeneration and preservation of nerve cells in the brain. Excess levels of estradiol may be associated with a variety of adverse symptoms and poor health. It has also been linked to cancer.
