Estrogen drugs can be divided into three types: 1. Natural Estrogen: the natural estrogen secreted by the body includes estradiol, estrone and estriol. At present, the estrogen commonly used in clin
In the non-amyloidogenic pathway, which is the predominant pathway, APP is cleaved within the Aβ domain by α-secretase to liberate a neuroprotective, secreted form of APP (α-APPs). A C-terminal fragment (C83/αCTF) is left embedded in the membrane for further cleavage into non-amyloid...
This type of estrogen is primarily made and secreted from the placenta (with help from the fetus) about five weeks after implantation. This is also a weak estrogen (6). Estetrol (E4): This type of estrogen is only produced during pregnancy from the liver of the fetus (7). Most of ...
In postmenopausal women, the principal source of circulating estrogen is adipose tissue stroma, where estrone is synthesized from dehydroepiandrosterone secreted by the adrenals. Many steroidal and nonsteroidal compounds that possess estrogenic or antiestrogenic activity occur in plants and fungi. Included...
The authors examine the role of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which is secreted from the pituitary gland (Fig. 1). When ovarian function declines at the menopause, the lev-: els of the ovarian hormones inhibin, and later estrogen, decrease. Because these hormones normally inhibit FSH, ...
They are produced and secreted directly into the bloodstream by the ovary, testis, adrenal, and placenta of pregnancy. Two other naturally occurring estrogenic hormones, equilin and equilenin, have been obtained only from the urine of pregnant mares and are apparently peculiar to that species. ...
It is secreted by the ovary and placenta of female animals. The receptors for estrogen are distributed in the uterus, vagina, breast, pelvis, skin, bladder, urethra, bones, and brain. Therefore, estrogen has a wide and important physiological role, which can promote and maintain the second ...

Simultaneously, in adult and aging, the androgen binding protein (ABP), secreted in the seminiferous tubule lumen with other compounds (i.e. transferrin [265]), maintained the integrity of the inner structures of the tubules [[265], [266], [267], [268], [269]] that could be ...
