Signs of hyperestrogenism may include heightened levels of one or more of the estrogen sex hormones (usually estradiol and/or estrone), lowered levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and/or luteinizing hormone (due to suppression of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis by estrogen), and lowered levels of androgens such as testosterone (generally only relevant to males). [1]
Aromatase excess syndrome (AES or AEXS) is a rarely diagnosed genetic and endocrine syndrome which is characterized by an overexpression of aromatase, the enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of the estrogen sex hormones from the androgens, in turn resulting in excessive levels of circulating estrogens and, accordingly, symptoms of hyperestrogenism.
The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery reports surgery is the "most effective known treatment for gynecomastia." [ 64 ] Surgical treatment should be considered if the gynecomastia persists for more than 12 months, causes distress (i.e. physical discomfort or psychological distress), and is in the fibrotic stage. [ 65 ]
Just like you, the female sex hormone is responsible for a lot.
Estrone is a naturally occurring and bioidentical estrogen, or an agonist of the estrogen receptor, the biological target of estrogens like endogenous estradiol. [5] It is a relatively weak estrogen, with much lower activity than estradiol. [5] However, estrone is converted in the body into estradiol, which provides most or all of its ...
High-dose estrogen therapy (HDE) is a type of hormone therapy in which high doses of estrogens are given. [1] When given in combination with a high dose of progestogen , it has been referred to as pseudopregnancy .
An estrogen-dependent condition can be that relating to the differentiation in the steroid sex hormone that is associated with the female reproductive system and sex characteristics. [1] These conditions can fall under the umbrella of hypoestrogenism, hyperestrogenim, or any sensitivity to the presence of estrogen in the body.
Estrone is an estrogen, specifically an agonist of the estrogen receptors ERα and ERβ. [1] [5] It is a far less potent estrogen than is estradiol, and as such, is a relatively weak estrogen. [1] [5] [6] Given by subcutaneous injection in mice, estradiol is about 10-fold more potent than estrone and about 100-fold more potent than estriol. [7]
