It is one of the female hormones within the group of steroids, in addition to being related to the behavior pattern of the reproductive organs and some bone areas of the body. Its potency is much greater than other similar hormones, prevailing as the most substantial estrogen in the body, in a certain period of a woman's menstrual cycle. Estrone is a component very similar to estradiol, with the difference that it is responsible for regulating different processes in menopause, affecting, for the most part, the sexual and reproductive organs of women. As is common within the group of steroids, this compound comes from cholesterol, undergoing mutations due to the clash between other natural chemicals such as androstenedione, as well as enzymes such as aromatase.
The men produce minimal amounts of this hormone in your testicles, but women in the brain, part of the adrenal cortex (adrenal glands) in the arteries and certain cells in the ovaries. In the same way, it attacks some cells, interacting with the nucleus and modifying their structural code, to create new substances such as proteins. It is the main organic substance that results from the metabolic reactions of the urinary system, that is, a metabolite. By checking the regular expulsion of estradiol in the body, the behavior of the ovaries is being observed, and with these data some unfavorable symptoms can be identified within the menstrual cycle.
It is one of the determining factors for the maturation of a woman's sexual organs, the impulse for the onset of ovulation, as well as preparing the endometrium together with progesterone for possible fertilization.
