steroid sex hormone

Estradiol (E2) is a naturally occurring steroidal sex hormone that is essential for female fertility and maintenance of secondary sexual characteristics. Estradiol upregulates IL-6 expression through estrogen receptor beta (ERβ).

Estradiol benzoate (Benzhormovarine) is the synthetic benzoate ester of estradiol, a steroid sex hormone vital to the maintenance of fertility and secondary sexual characteristics in females.

Estradiol (β-Estradiol) hemihydrate, a key female sex hormone and steroid, plays a significant role in up-regulating neural markers in human endometrial stem cells (hEnSCs) and facilitating their neural differentiation. It is also utilized in research focused on cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, and neural tissue engineering.

Dehydroepiandrosterone-2,2,3,4,4,6-d6 is a deuterated compound of Dehydroepiandrosterone. Dehydroepiandrosterone has a CAS number of 53-43-0. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is an endogenous steroid hormone that is secreted primarily by the adrenal gland and is the most abundant sex steroid. Although the mechanisms of action of exogenously administered DHEA have not been fully illuminated, they may result in both direct and indirect physiologic effects. Direct effects include GABA-a receptor complex and NMDA receptor modulation and enhanced pancreatic beta cell insulin secretion and anti-glucocorticoid activities.
