In its conjugated form
as estrone sulfate, estrone is a major source of local bioactive estrogen formation in bone and plays an important role in bone maturation and homeostasis, especially in elders.

Recent studies, and
as far back
as 20 years ago, show that Estradiol E2, and
Estrone E1, increase a woman?s risk of breast cancer.
Researchers have found that the two potent female hormones
estrone and estradiol drop sharply
as dietary fiber intake increases.
We certainly do want more estriol than estradiol +
estrone (
as discussed in the article).
Originated 1970s by Dr. Henry Lemon, who tested estrogen levels in 24 hour urine samples and found that an EQ > 1 strongly correlated with a higher survival rate after breast cancer.24 Further research conducted by Lemon, Heidel, et al., a meta - analysis of published fractional estrogen excretion collected from 2,846 healthy women worldwide aged 15 to 59 years, with a risk of breast cancer varying five-fold, found that an EQ < 1 reflects increased rates of oxidation of
estrone or estradiol to 4 - OH catechols (also referred to in the literature
as the 3,4 - catechol estrogen quinones), which have been identified
as the principal proximal human mammary carcinogens after menarche, while an EQ > 1 reflects conversion to protective 2 - OH estrogen metabolites.2526
Glucose and inositol are oxidized in the liver to glucuronic acid and then bound into uridine diphosphate glucuronate (UDG), which is used by the enzyme uridine diphosphate transglucuronylase to convert 2 - OH
estrone, 4 - OH
estrone, 16α - OH
estrone, estradiol or estriol into water - soluble glucuronides, which can be excreted through the urine
as well
as bile.
Additionally,
estrone sulfate is a long - lived derivative that serves
as a reservoir for the more active estradiol (E2), into which
estrone is easily converted via 17β - hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β - HSD).
However, 16α - OH
estrone is also involved in bone building, so very low levels indicate increased risk for osteopenia / osteoporosis in men
as well
as women.29303132333435 Confirming this, a positive family history of osteoporosis has been found to be associated with preferential metabolism of estrogen through the inactive 2 - OH pathway.36
A diet rich in vegetable oils, white flour and sugar, exposure to pesticides and herbicides, consumption of conventionally raised dairy and meat products, the high use of plastics,
as well
as use of some cosmetics, toiletries and household cleaners, increases the cancer causing 16a OH
Estrone metabolite.
Estrogens are a family of hormones, including estradiol, which is the main estrogen (also known
as E2) of your reproductive years, estriol (or E3), which is the main estrogen of pregnancy, and
estrone (E1), which is the main estrogen of menopause.
It is promoted in bodybuilding to be an effective inhibitor of an enzyme known
as aromatase which causes the conversion of testosterone into estradiol and androstenedione into
estrone.
The liver takes harmful (such
as alcohol) and more benign substances (such
as estradiol, the most common estrogen until about age 50, then
estrone dominates), and converts these substances typically from fat - soluble to water - soluble so that you can remove them in your urine, stool or bile.
Chrysin - Chrysin (5,7 - Dihydroxyflavone) is promoted in bodybuilding to be an effective inhibitor of an enzyme known
as aromatase which causes the conversion of testosterone into estradiol and androstenedione into
estrone.
First, my hormones at this time (age 52) are all about conserving body fat so that I have a handy source of estrogen, while my ovaries are shutting down (Estradiol is made
as needed from the
Estrone in body fat.)
Other tests such
as fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose, liver enzymes, and hormones like estradiol, testosterone,
estrone, LH, FSH, and progesterone, depending on the health history and the constellation of symptoms.
