  2. Estrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrogen

    Estrogen also influences B cells by increasing their survival, proliferation, differentiation and function, which corresponds with higher antibody and B cell count generally detected in women. [92] On a molecular level estrogen induces the above-mentioned effects on cell via acting on intracellular receptors termed ER α and ER β, which upon ...

  3. Breast development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_development

    Women with CAIS, who are completely insensitive to the AR-mediated actions of androgens, have, as a group, above-average sized breasts. This is true despite the fact that they simultaneously have relatively low levels of estrogen, which demonstrates the powerful suppressant effect of androgens on estrogen-mediated breast development. [37]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follicular_phase

    The follicular phase, also known as the preovulatory phase or proliferative phase, [1] is the phase of the estrous cycle (or, in primates [2] for example, the menstrual cycle) during which follicles in the ovary mature from primary follicle to a fully mature graafian follicle.

  5. Estradiol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estradiol

    The volumes of sexually dimorphic brain structures in transgender women were found to change and approximate typical female brain structures when exposed to estrogen concomitantly with androgen deprivation over a period of months, [31] suggesting that estrogen and/or androgens have a significant part to play in sex differentiation of the brain ...

  6. Folliculogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folliculogenesis

    Estrogen has since dropped to negative stimulatory levels after ovulation and therefore serves to maintain the concentration of FSH and LH. Inhibin, which is also secreted by the corpus luteum, contributes to FSH inhibition. Progesterone, secreted by the corpus luteum, inhibits the follicular growth and maintains the pregnancy.

    The estrogen produced by the ovaries helps protect against heart attacks and stroke and, when less estrogen is made, women lose this protection, according to ACOG. That can raise a woman’s risk ...

    While the role of estrogen, the primary female hormone, in human hair growth isn’t totally clear, it may play a protective role against hair loss in women. Estradiol , a form of estrogen, plays ...

  9. Pregnancy hormones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregnancy_hormones

    Estrogen promotes the development of breast cancers that have estrogen receptor (ER) by stimulating the proliferation and survival of breast cancer cells. [39] Estrogen receptor (ER) is a significant indicator for predicting outcomes and guiding treatment decisions, and it is found in around 75% of breast cancers. [ 39 ]
