17 بيتا استراديول e2 بلازما المصل

17-β-Estradiol (E2) is a potent oestrogen secreted by the granulosa cells of the ovaries and by the placenta. E2 is also an active metabolic product of testosterone in males. The steroid hormone E2 is a key regulator of growth, differentiation and function in a wide array of target tissues, including the mal e and female reproductive tracts, mammary gland and skeletal and cardiovascular systems. It is important for female sexual differentiation and development during gestation and puberty and for endometrial growth and for triggering ovulation. E2 also plays a role in the prevention of male sperm cell apoptosis.

This test is used to evaluate sexual development, cause of infertility (anovulation, amenorrhoea and dysmenorrhoea), menopause and in monitoring IVF patients undergoing ovulation stimulation. Increased levels are associated with oestrogen producing tumours and gynecomastia (benign enlargement of the male breast).
