Physiological Activity of Natural Estrogens• Reproduction and development of female sex organs• Growth of secondary sex characteristics (male + female)• Role in ovulation and pregnancy• Role in bone density modulation (male + female)• Role in mineral, carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism
Physiological Activity of Progesterone• Maintenance of Pregnancy• Inhibition of follicular maturation and ovulation• Prevention of spontaneous uterine contractions
Female Sex SteroidsFemale Sex Steroids
Concerns about carcinogenic actions of Estrogens/Progestins• Early studies … tumors of breast, uterus, testis, bone, kidney …• ‘Unopposed’ estrogen … especially higher risk• Estrogen – progestin combination … standard practice now• In a WHI study … increased total risk of breast cancer by 24%• Carcinogenic actions due to trophic effects (cell proliferation effects)• Alternate theory … conversion to quinones ROS DNA damage

Therapeutic Uses
• Combination oral contraceptives(block ovulation)
• Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT)(secondary effects of decreased hormones … hot flashes, bone loss …)
• Estrogen/Progestin – dependent cancers(antagonism of ER and PR)
• Abortifacients(induction of uterine contractions)
• Other uses
