The document discusses female sex hormones including oestrogens like oestradiol, oestrone, and oestriol. It notes that these hormones are produced by the ovaries and regulate the female reproductive cycle and development of secondary sex characteristics. Progesterone is also discussed, which prepares the uterus for potential pregnancy and supports pregnancy maintenance along with relaxin. The hormones are transported bound to proteins and metabolized in the liver before being excreted.
