Description:
Estrone is a steroid, like estriol and estradiol belonging to the class of Estrogens. The estrogens are involved in the development of female sex
organs and secondary sex characteristics. Before the ovum is fertilized the main action of the estrogens are the growth and function of the reproductive tract in order to prepare it for the fertilized ovum.
Estrone is produced primarily from androstenedione originating from either the adrenal cortex or gonads. In premenopausal women, more than 50 % of the estrone is secreted by the ovary. In prepubertal children, men and postmenopausal women, the major portion of estrone is derived from peripheral tissue conversion of androstenedione.
