Equine estrogens, or horse estrogens, are estrogens found in horses. [1] [2] [3] They include the following: [1] [2] [3] Estradiol; Estrone; Equilin (Δ 7-estrone) Equilenin (Δ 6,8-estrone) 17α-Dihydroequilin (Δ 7-17α-estradiol) 17β-Dihydroequilin (Δ 7-17β-estradiol) 17α-Dihydroequilenin (Δ 6,8-17α-estradiol) 17β-Dihydroequilenin (Δ ...
List of side effects of estradiol which may occur as a result of its use or have been associated with estrogen and/or progestogen therapy includes: [1] [2]. Gynecological: changes in vaginal bleeding, dysmenorrhea, increase in size of uterine leiomyomata, vaginitis including vaginal candidiasis, changes in cervical secretion and cervical ectropion, ovarian cancer, endometrial hyperplasia ...
Side effects of CEEs include breast tenderness and enlargement, headache, fluid retention, and nausea among others. [7] [1] It may increase the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer in women with an intact uterus if it is not taken together with a progestogen like progesterone.
Side effects of EEs include nausea, breast tension, edema, and breakthrough bleeding among others. [8] It is an estrogen, or an agonist of the estrogen receptors, the biological target of estrogens like estradiol. [5] [3] [4] EEs are a prodrug mainly of estradiol and to a lesser extent of equilin. [5] EEs were introduced for medical use by 1970 ...
As unopposed estrogen therapy (using estrogen alone without progesterone) increases the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer in women with intact uteruses, estradiol is usually combined with a progestogen like progesterone or medroxyprogesterone acetate to prevent the effects of estradiol on the endometrium.
Estradiol, mainly as esters including estradiol valerate, estradiol cypionate, and estradiol enanthate, is also the exclusive estrogen used in combined injectable contraceptives. [6] As of 2021, more than 95% of prescriptions are for combined hormonal birth control forms containing the synthetic estrogen ethinylestradiol (EE). [7]
Equilin is a naturally occurring estrogen sex hormone found in horses as well as a medication. [1] [2] [3] It is one of the estrogens present in the estrogen combination drug preparations known as conjugated estrogens (CEEs; e.g. Premarin) and esterified estrogens (EEs; e.g. Estratab, Menest).
