What is Estrone (dried urine, GCMS)?
Estrone is the predominant oestrogen in postmenopausal women and arises from ovarian secretion, peripheral aromatisation of androstenedione in adipose tissue, and interconversion with estradiol. Urinary excretion of conjugated estrone and its glucuronide/sulphate conjugates reflects integrated 24-hour production when normalised to creatinine.
