Estradiol is a naturally occurring and bioidentical estrogen, or an agonist of the estrogen receptor, the biological target of estrogens like endogenous estradiol. [10] Due to its estrogenic activity, estradiol has antigonadotropic effects and can inhibit fertility and suppress sex hormone production in both women and men.
Some of the water-soluble conjugates are excreted via the bile duct, and partly reabsorbed after hydrolysis from the intestinal tract. This enterohepatic circulation contributes to maintaining estradiol levels. Estradiol is also metabolized via hydroxylation into catechol estrogens.

Fluctuating hormones can result in a fluctuating waistline. That’s because as estrogen decreases, fat stores occur less in the hips and thighs and more in the midsection.
The menstrual cycle can cause fluctuations in estrogen, which can cause water retention, Johnson notes. Pregnancy also causes the body to hold onto excess fluids and swell, says Badgett. Water ...
Fat tissue can produce excess estrogen, so those with a higher body fat percentage may have high estrogen levels, says Dr. Guichard. There's an inverse relationship here, too: Higher estrogen ...
These polymeric estrogen esters are hydrophilic and water-soluble. Upon intramuscular injection, they do not form a depot and instead are rapidly absorbed into the circulation. However, they are only slowly cleaved into monomers, and as a result, have a very long duration in the body even outlasting that of many longer-chain fatty-acid estrogen ...
Estrogenic fat is a feminine secondary sex characteristic which develops at puberty and is maintained by estradiol throughout a woman's fertile years.. A special form of estrogenic fat is the iliac (hip) fat layer, which normally occurs below the iliac crest in females of childbearing age.
