Description

Estriol is one of three estrogen hormones. Estriol levels rise throughout pregnancy, helping to keep your uterus and unborn baby healthy. The levels are at their highest right before childbirth. They help prepare your body for labor and delivery.

Mechanism of action

The drug interacts with a target cell receptor. When the estrogen receptor has bound its ligand it can enter the nucleus of the target cell, and regulate gene transcription which leads to formation of messenger RNA.
