Estradiol Regulation

Meaning

Estradiol Regulation is the homeostatic process responsible for maintaining the concentration of Estradiol (E2), the most potent naturally occurring estrogen, within a tight, physiological range essential for health in both sexes. In women, E2 regulation is critical for reproductive function, bone health, and cognitive vitality. In men, appropriate E2 levels are necessary for bone density, cardiovascular health, and modulating libido, despite being present in much lower concentrations.
