(1) Depofemin is a sex hormone that is present in both males and females, en is die belangrikste vorm van estrogeen by mense. By vroue, dit speel 'n sleutelrol in die ontwikkeling en funksionering van die voortplantingstelsel, asook in die groei van sekere bene. Dit beheer ook die verspreiding van liggaamsvet in vroue en is die hoofhormoon wat verantwoordelik is vir die feit dat vroue korter as mans is, gemiddeld. Beide die eierstokke en die byniere produseer dit.
(2) Die menstruele siklus by vroue behels voorspelbare variasies in die vlakke van verskeie hormone, met oestradiol as een van hulle. Dit is betrokke by die ovulasieproses en berei die binnekant van die baarmoeder voor vir inplanting, moet die eiersel bevrug word. Sekere toetse wat op bobbejane en ander primate gedoen is, het aangedui dat sy hormoon ook 'n voortdurende rol speel in die handhawing van 'n swangerskap, help om dit vir die volle swangerskapsperiode te hou.
(3) As 'n geslagshormoon, dit veroorsaak ook baie van die ontwikkelings van die voortplantingstelsel wat in puberteit begin. Dit kom dwarsdeur die voortplantingsjare voor, en afneem tydens en na menopouse. Hierdie afname is presies wat baie van die simptome van menopouse veroorsaak, soos warm gloede en nagsweet, vaginale droogheid, en die verlies van beenmassa wat tot osteoporose kan lei.
Estradiol cypionate , or estradiol cipionate, is a synthetic ester, specifically the 3-cyclopentylpropanoyl ester, of the natural estrogen, oestradiol. It was first introduced in 1952 by Upjohn in the United States, and has been in widespread use since. Estradiol cypionate is absorbed more slowly than estradiol itself, and for that reason, it can be administered less often.Compared to other commonly used estradiol esters, via the intramuscular route, estradiol cypionate was found to have the longest duration of action with a duration of ~11 days, while estradiol benzoate and estradiol valerate were found to last for 4-5 dae en 7-8 dae, onderskeidelik.
This medication is a female hormone (estrogeen). It is used by women to help reduce symptoms of menopause (such as hot flashes, vaginale droogheid). These symptoms are caused by the body making less estrogen. If you are using this medication to treat symptoms only in and around the vagina, products applied directly inside the vagina should be considered before medications that are taken by mouth, absorbed through the skin, or injected. This medication may also be used by women who are not able to produce enough estrogen ( for example, due to hypogonadism, primary ovarian failure).
