MeSH Heading: Estriol
Tree Number(s): D04.210.500.365.415.331; D06.472.334.851.437.750
Unique ID: D004964
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004964
Scope Note: A hydroxylated metabolite of ESTRADIOL or ESTRONE that has a hydroxyl group at C3, 16-alpha, and 17-beta position. Estriol is a major urinary estrogen. During PREGNANCY, a large amount of estriol is produced by the PLACENTA. Isomers with inversion of the hydroxyl group or groups are called epiestriol.
