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.
生化/生理作用
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

Insulin (INS) resistance associated with hyperestrogenemias occurs in gestational diabetes mellitus, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, estrogen therapies, metabolic syndrome, and obesity. The mechanism by which INS and estrogen interact is unknown. We hypothesize that estrogen binds directly to

The glucuronidation of estriol, 16-epiestriol, and 17-epiestriol by the human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) of subfamilies 1A, 2A, and 2B was examined. UGT1A10 is highly active in the conjugation of the 3-OH in all these estriols, whereas UGT2B7 is the most active

The early history of estriol is reviewed with special emphasis on its isolation, identification, quantitation in tissues and body fluids and its unique biogenesis in the human feto-placental unit. The relationship to epimeric estriols and acidic estrogens and the pharmacokinetic
