| rdfs:comment | - Estrogen was a female steroid hormone produced by the ovaries and by the adrenal cortex, placenta, and male testes. In 2372, after transferring Keiko O'Brien's baby to Kira Nerys, Doctor Julian Bashir had to stimulate Kira's estrogen and progesterone production to enable the baby to metabolize Bajoran nutrients.

- Estrogen is a sex hormone that is responsible for female sex characteristics and helps regulate ovulation and pregnancy. It is produced by the ovaries and, in smaller quantities, by the testicles. During puberty, estrogen is responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics in females, such as the development of the breasts and hips. It is also responsible for females having finer body hair and smoother skin than men generally do. It is also vital in ovulation and fetal development.
- Estrogens, also called oestrogens, are the primary female sex hormone. While estrogens are present in both men and women, they are found in women in significantly higher quantities. They promote the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, such as breasts, and are also involved in the thickening of the endometrium and other aspects of regulating the menstrual cycle, which is why many oral contraceptives contain estrogens.

| abstract | - Estrogens, also called oestrogens, are the primary female sex hormone. While estrogens are present in both men and women, they are found in women in significantly higher quantities. They promote the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, such as breasts, and are also involved in the thickening of the endometrium and other aspects of regulating the menstrual cycle, which is why many oral contraceptives contain estrogens. The three naturally occurring estrogens are estradiol, estriol and estrone. In the body these are all produced from androgens through enzyme action. Estradiol is produced from testosterone and estrone from androstenedione. Estrone is weaker than estradiol, and in post-menopausal women more estrone is present than estradiol.

Too much estrogen in males can result in development of female sexual characteristics (particularly enlarged breasts) and decreased sexual desire.
