Estradiol Production: |
|
Estradiol is the most potent of the estrogens
that occur naturally in the human body. |
|
Pregnenolone and progesterone (and the
"17-hydroxy" intermediates) are precursors to estradiol. |
|
The androgens DHEA, androstenediol, androstenedione and testosterone are all estradiol |
|
precursors. |
|
Estrone is a precursor to estradiol. |
|
|
|
Estriol is a metabolite of estrogens and androgens,
and is not an estradiol precursor. |
