Application
β-Estradiol 17-acetate has been used in body burden analyses, to study the effect of triclosan on an estuarine fish.
Biochem/physiol Actions
β-Estradiol is a steroid hormone involved in a number of organ functions. It is significantly associated with brain functions including neuroprotection, neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity. β-Estradiol maintains bone homeostasis, and hence is preferred for osteoporosis therapy. 17-β-Estradiol is the most active estrogen generated in our body. During postmenopausal, 17-β-estradiol inhibits oxidative modification in low density lipoprotein. This indicates that estrogen replacement therapy might be useful in treating cardiovascular disease.
