The Uses of 17β-Estradiol 3-O-Sulfate SodiuM Salt

17β-Estradiol 3-O-Sulfate Sodium Salt is a neuroactive steroid used in the studies of human recombinant p1 γ-aminobutyric acid type C (GABAC) recptors.

The Uses of 17β-Estradiol 3-O-Sulfate SodiuM Salt

β-Estradiol 3-sulfate sodium salt has been used to measure the estradiol level from culture supernatant in ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

General Description

β-Estradiol is secreted by developing ovaries and is predominant during premenopause in women.

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-Estradiol is a steroid hormone involved in a number of organ functions. It is significantly associated with brain functions including neuroprotection, neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity. β-Estradiol maintains bone homeostasis, hence it is preferred for osteoporosis therapy. 17-β-Estradiol is the most active estrogen generated in our body. During postmenopausal, 17-β-estradiol inhibits oxidative modification in low density lipoprotein. This indicates that estrogen replacement therapy might be useful in treating cardiovascular disease.
