oestrogen
oestrogen One of a group of female sex hormones, produced principally by the ovaries, that promote the onset of
secondary sexual characteristics (such as breast enlargement and development in women) and control the
oestrous cycle (
menstrual cycle in humans).
Oestradiol is the most important. Oestrogens are secreted at particularly high levels during ovulation, stimulating the uterus to prepare for pregnancy. They are used in
oral contraceptives (with
progestogens) and as treatment for various disorders of the female reproductive organs. Small amounts of oestrogens are produced by the adrenal glands and testes.
