Estrogen: Secreted by the theca cells, corpus luteum, placenta and adrenals and testes Intracellular receptors for lipid soluble agents Bounded by SHBG Metabolites: cathecol estrogen -> neurotransmitters -> converted to 2- and 4-methoxycompounds by COMT Enterohepatic circulation
Estrogen: Physiologic effects Female maturation  - stimulate the development of vagina, uterus, uterine tubes  - breast: stromal development, ductal development  - growth: accelerated; closure of epiphysis of long bones  - growth of axillary/pubic hair  - typical female body contour
Estrogen: Physiologic effects (cont.) on sexual organs (primary and secondary sexual characteristics) ovaries : stimulate follicular growth; small doses cause an increase in weight of ovary; large doses cause atrophy uterus: endometrial growth vagina: cornification of epithelial cells with thickening and stratification of epithelium cervix: increase of cervical mucous with a lowered viscosity (favoring sperm access)
Estrogen: physiologic effects (cont) Endometrial effects – hyperplasia with abnormal bleeding patterns Cardiovascular effects:  - ↑HDL, ↓LDL; ↓antithrombin III;  ↑ Fx II, VII, IX, X; ↑plasminogen levels, ↓platelet adhesiveness
Estrogen: physiologic effects (cont) Other effects:  - influence behavior and libido  - loss of fluid from intravascular into the extravascular space (edema)  - induce synthesis of progesterone receptors  - electrolytes: retention of Na+, Cl- and water by the kidney  - cholesterol: hypocholesterolemic effect  - skin:increase in vascularization, development of soft, textured and smooth skin  - bone:increase osteoblastic activity
Estrogen: Clinical uses Post-menopausal hormonal therapy -reduction of MI (50%), fatal strokes (40%)  -prevent fractures -0.3mg D1-D21 monthly + medroxyprogesterone acetate -S/P hysterectomy – 5 days/week -atrophic vaginitis - topical  Oral contraceptives Hypogonadism – 0.3mg D1-D21 monthly Osteoporosis Infertility Dysmenorrhea Prostate Ca
Natural estrogens Conjugated estrogenic substances: an amorphous preparation containing water soluble conjugated forms of mixed estrogens from the urine of pregnant mares (Premarin, Cenestin - synthetic conjugated estrogens) estradiol : oral : Estrace transdermal: Climara, Alora, Vivelle, Vivelle-Dot, Estraderm, FemPatch
Natural estrogens estrone:  Kestrone 5 (injectable only) esterified estrogen  (75-85% sodium estrone sulfate and 6- 15% sodium equilin sulfate) Estratab; Menest estropipate (piperazine estrone sulfate) Ogen; Ortho-Est
Natural estrogens Sustained-release injectables: estradiol valerate in oil (Delestrogen;  Valergen) estradiol cypionate in oil (depGynogen; DepoGen) duration of action from 3 to 8 weeks esterified at C-17 hydroyl group
Estrogen products
Estrogen: Contraindications Estrogen dependent neoplasm (breast, endometrium) Undiagnosed genital bleeding History of thromboembolic disorders Pregnant women
Progesterone: Synthesized in the ovary, testes, adrenals Produced primarily by corpus luteum Males: 1-5mg daily or 0.03ug/dl plasma level Kinetics: rapidly absorbes; t1/2 – 5mins; completely metabolized in the liver
PROGESTERONE Natural hormone secreted by the corpus luteum and the placenta ( a C-21 steroid) it is also an important intermediate in steroid biogenesis in all tissues that produce steroids (testes, adrenal cortex) Intestinal absorption is quite erratic; must be micronized for most effective absorption  (Prometrium)
Progesterone: Physiologic effects: Affects carbohydrate metabolism Compete with aldosterone ↑ body temperature Breast: alveolobular development of the secretory apparatus of the breast Endometrium: maturation and secretory changes ↓plasma levels of amino acids
Progesterone: Clinical uses Hormonal replacement therapy Contraception Diagnosis: estrogen secretion Dysmenorrhea Endometriosis
Progesterone: CI/AE Increase BP Decrease plasma HDL
Other androgens secreted by the ovary: Testosterone Androstenedione DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) Inhibin Activin Relaxin
Testes: Functions: sperm production (FSH)                      testosterone synthesis (LH) 8mg testosterone daily Weak androgen: androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone Active androgen: dihydrotestosterone      (5-α-reductase) Testosterone is converted to estradiol by p450 aromatase
Natural androgens
Testosterone: Physiologic effect Changes in the skin (pubic, axillary, beard) Larynx Skeletal growth  ↑lean body mass Male development Anabolic effect on muscle and bone mass: ↑ CHON synthesis, ↓ CHON breakdown Other effects: erythrocyte production, musculinization in females
Testosterone: Clinical Uses Androgen replacement therapy Gynecologic disorders Protein anabolic agent Refractory anemia Osteoporosis Growth stimulators Abused in sports “Slows” aging
Other Uses for Androgens Replacement therapy in hypogonadism delayed puberty cryptorchidism metastatic breast cancer in women postpartum breast pain/engorgement male climacteric

Anti-Estrogen Clomiphene  - partial agonist at estrogen receptors   - act as competitive inhibitors  - stimulates ovulation by preventing feedback inhibition  - AE: hot flashes, eye symptoms, ovarian cyst, skin rxn, multiple births  - 50mg OD x 5days; 100mg OD x 5days; 100mg OD x 5days
Anti-Estrogen: Tamoxifen   - Act as competitive inhibitor  - For breast Ca  - AE: hot flashes, N and V, vulvar pruritus, menstrual irregularities  - 10-20mg BID (35% ↓ but not >5yrs) □ Toremifene – prevent bone loss, ↓atherosclerosis; (+) uterus □ Raloxifene - prevent bone loss, ↓atherosclerosis; (-) uterus
AROMATASE INHIBITORS aromatase is a cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adrenal androgen androstenedione to estrone in both pre- amd post menopausal women reaction occurs in the liver, muscle, adipose and breast tissue in post-menopausal women, aromatization is responsible for the majority of circulating estrogen aminoglutethimide was used but has now been replaced by more selective drugs drugs may be steroidal (testolactone, emestane) or non-steroidal (anastrozole, letrozole) estrogen deprivation through aromatase inhibition is an effective and selective treatment for some post-menopausal patients with hormone-dependent breast cancer
AROMATASE INHIBITORS both of these drugs are used in the treatment of advanced breast cancer in post-menopausal  women with disease progression following tamoxifen therapy
Exemestane (Aromasin) 6-methylenandrosta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione structurally related to androstenedione acts as an irreversible (suicide) inhibitor of aromatase has no effect on other enzymes involved in steroidogenesis indicated for the treatment of advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women whose disease has progressed following tamoxifen therapy

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH BILL IN THE PHILIPPINES There are four bills pertaining to reproductive health and/or population management that have been filed for deliberation in both the House of Representatives and the Senate for the 14th Congress. These are House Bill No. 17 authored by Rep. Edcel Lagman, House Bill No. 812 authored by Rep. Janette Garin, Senate Bill No. 40 authored by Sen. Rodolfo Biazon and Senate Bill No. 43 authored by Sen. Panfilo Lacson.
The bill is controversial, as it is being opposed by the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is against the use of artificial contraceptives     House Bill No. 17, also known as the proposed "Reproductive Health and Population Development Act of 2008," will cover the following areas: information and access to natural and modern family planning;  maternal, infant and child health and nutrition;  promotion of breast feeding;  prevention of abortion and management of post-abortion complications;  adolescent and youth health; prevention and management of reproductive tract infections, HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases;  elimination of violence against women; counseling on sexuality and sexual and reproductive health;  treatment of breast and reproductive tract cancers;  male involvement and participation in reproductive health;  prevention and treatment of infertility; and  reproductive health education for the youth.
Finally ……. The End Thank You!
