estrogen [es´tro-jen] a generic term for any of the estrus-producing compounds (female sex hormones), including estradiol, estriol, and estrone. Called also estrogenic hormone. In humans, the estrogens are formed in the ovary, adrenal cortex, testis, and fetoplacental unit, and are responsible for female secondary sex characteristic development, and during the menstrual cycle, act on the female genitalia to produce an environment suitable for fertilization, implantation, and nutrition of the early embryo.

Synonym(s): estrogen antagonistan·ti·es·tro·gen (an'tē-es'trō-jĕn) Any substance capable of preventing full expression of the biologic effects of estrogenic hormones on responsive tissues.
