Results and discussion

Results:
Estrone is an endogenous sex hormone and an approved drug since several decades. The active ingredient, synthetic estrone, is similar both chemically and biologically to endogenously produced human estrone. Estrone belongs to the category “steroidal estrogens” and is one of the pharmacologically less-active metabolites of 17β-estradiol which is the most potent of the naturally occurring estrogens (17ß-estradiol, estrone, estriol).The toxic effects of steroidal estrogens like estradiol <-> estrone are an exaggeration of the normal pharmacological effects and result in an increase of female characteristics. Estradiol and estrone are widely used for oral contraception and in post-menopausal hormonal therapy for many years. Therefore a wide base of clinical experience is available pointing out various types of adverse effects.
