Wikipedia Wiktionary dictionary logo

  • Estrogens, oestrogens, or œstrogens, are a group of steroid compounds, named for their importance in the estrous cycle, and functioning as the primary female sex hormone. Their name comes from estrus/oistros (period of fertility for female mammals) + gen/gonos = to generate. Estrogens are synthesized in all vertebrates as well as some insects.
