Apart from humans and other mammals, estradiol is also found in most vertebrates and crustaceans, insects, fish, and other animal species. [8] [9] Estradiol is produced within the follicles of the ovaries and in other tissues including the testicles, the adrenal glands, fat, liver, the breasts, and the brain.
Estetrol is a major estrogen in the body. [1] [2] In contrast to estrone and estradiol, estetrol is a native estrogen of fetal life. Estetrol is produced exclusively by the fetal liver [1] and is found in detectable levels only during pregnancy, with relatively high levels in the fetus and lower levels in the maternal circulation.

The following is a list of hormones found in Homo sapiens.Spelling is not uniform for many hormones. For example, current North American and international usage uses [citation needed] estrogen and gonadotropin, while British usage retains the Greek digraph in oestrogen and favours the earlier spelling gonadotrophin.
Like other steroid hormones, estrogen enters passively into the cell where it binds to and activates the estrogen receptor. The estrogen:ER complex binds to specific DNA sequences called a hormone response element to activate the transcription of target genes (in a study using an estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell line as model, 89 such ...
Sex hormones, also known as sex steroids, gonadocorticoids and gonadal steroids, are steroid hormones that interact with vertebrate steroid hormone receptors. [1] The sex hormones include the androgens , estrogens , and progestogens .
Casperson recommends a transdermal (through the skin) formula, found in a cream, gel, or patch, because it’s more affordable and won’t push your testosterone level too high.
The first-pass effect that occurs with oral estradiol results in unusually high levels of estrone and estrogen conjugates in the circulation as well as of estradiol in the liver. [10] These unique properties of oral estradiol result in a number of pharmacological differences relative to the other routes of administration of estradiol.
Albumin, carries thyroid hormones and other hormones, particularly fat soluble ones, fatty acids to the liver, unconjugated bilirubin, many drugs and Ca 2+ Ceruloplasmin, carries copper; Transcortin, carries cortisol, aldosterone and progesterone; Haptoglobin, carries free hemoglobin released from erythrocytes
