Application

Estriol has been used as a sex hormone to determine its binding constants to insulin (INS), the insulin receptor (IR), and INS-like peptides derived from the IR.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Estriol is a metabolite of 17β-estradiol with much lower biological activity. It is the primary estrogen found in the urine. Large quantities of estriol and estrone are produced by the placenta during pregnancy. These are also the primary estrogens produced by adipose tissue in men and post-menopausal women. Estriol may exhibit immunomodulatory benefits against various diseases such as autoimmune, inflammatory, and neurodegenerative conditions.

Estriol is the main estrogen in pregnancy, but has received less attention outside gestation. It is well known that pregnancy has an immunosuppressive effect on many autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, thyroiditis, uveitis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Emerging evidence

We investigated whether the pregnancy-related hormones, estriol (E3), testosterone, human placental lactogen (hPL), human prolactin (hPRL), and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) affect BCRP expression in human placental BeWo cells. The effects of these hormones on BCRP protein and mRNA expression

To gain more insight into whether intravaginal treatment of local urogenital complaints with the mild-acting oestrogen estriol is capable of inducing proliferation of the endometrium, the results of the clinical studies that have been published over the years have been

The clearance of apoptotic cells is critical for both tissue homeostasis and the resolution of inflammation. We found that the TAM receptor tyrosine kinases Axl and Mer had distinct roles as phagocytic receptors in these two settings, in which they

Estrogenic hormones (estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2)) are the major contributor to the total estrogenicity in waterways. Presence of these compounds in biosolids is also causing concern in terms of their use as soil amendment. In comparison
