17α-雌二醇(英语:17α-Estradiol,缩写17α-E2)也称为17-表雌二醇(17-epiestradiol)或雌-1,3,5(10)-三烯-3,17α-二醇(estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17α-diol)是一种较弱的内源性甾体雌激素,相对其C17上的差向异构体17β-雌二醇(通常就简称为雌二醇)仅在体内占少量。17α-雌二醇的雌激素效价强度只有17β-雌二醇的百分之一,且更亲和雌激素受体中的ERα而非ERβ。和上述核受体不同,对在大脑内表达的雌激素细胞表面受体ER-X而言,17α-雌二醇的亲和力比17β-雌二醇更高,说明17α-雌二醇是该受体的内源性配体。
Note: Though not listed here, many anabolic steroids can also be estrogenic as they can be aromatized into estrogen-like metabolites that possess estrogenic activity.
Note: Xenoestrogens (e.g., phytoestrogens and mycoestrogens) are not included here. For a full list of xenoestrogens, see here.
Note: 5α-reductase and 21-hydroxylase inhibitors may also affect estrogen levels as they prevent metabolism of estrogen steroid precursors.
