Tree Number(s): D27.505.696.399.472.277
Unique ID: D004967
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004967
Annotation: /defic: consider also HYPOGONADISM & other GONADAL DISORDERS; /‌antag = ESTROGEN ANTAGONISTS or specifics; note entry term ESTROGEN EFFECT: use only for the estrogenic effect of a chemical substance
Scope Note: Compounds that interact with ESTROGEN RECEPTORS in target tissues to bring about the effects similar to those of ESTRADIOL. Estrogens stimulate the female reproductive organs, and the development of secondary female SEX CHARACTERISTICS. Estrogenic chemicals include natural, synthetic, steroidal, or non-steroidal compounds.
