estrone
Weaker female hormone
Estrone is one of the three main estrogens produced by the human body, along with estradiol and estriol.
It is the predominant estrogen after menopause, when the ovaries reduce estradiol production and fatty tissue becomes the primary source.
Estrone is weaker than estradiol but can convert to it in tissues.
It appears in hormone replacement therapies and is measured in tests assessing hormonal status.
