Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Hydroxyestrone is an endogenous estrogen metabolite, which exhibits a strong neuroprotective effect against oxidative damage. It also provides effective protection against kanic acid-induced hippocampal oxidative damage in rats when compared to 17β-estradiol. 4-Hydroxyestrone regulates the angiogenic process during corpus luteum formation. It might be involved in an increased risk of cancer. 4-Hydroxyestrone is found in the early and mid-luteal phases.
