Estradiol is the most potent and predominant form of estrogen circulating in the female body. It is a steroid hormone produced primarily by the ovaries that plays a vital role in sexual and reproductive development.
Some key facts about estradiol:
- Functions: Regulates the menstrual cycle and reproductive function. Promotes the development of female secondary sex characteristics during puberty. Important for healthy bone density, cardiovascular function, brain health, and more.
- Production: Produced mainly by the ovaries, but also in smaller amounts by the adrenal glands and fat tissue. Production peaks during the late follicular phase right before ovulation.
- Levels: Vary significantly during the menstrual cycle. Highest right before ovulation, then drop during the luteal phase. Low levels can indicate issues like primary ovarian insufficiency.
