Estrone details
What Estrone shows
Estrone (E1) is one of the three main forms of estrogen (along with estradiol and estriol), and it's produced largely by the conversion of androgens in fat tissue, which means it becomes relatively more prominent after menopause, when ovarian estradiol production drops off and fat tissue becomes the primary estrogen source. Because of this fat-tissue link, estrone levels tend to run higher in people with more body fat. It's used to help assess overall estrogen status, particularly in postmenopausal women, and can be relevant when evaluating estrogen-related symptoms or certain hormone-sensitive conditions.
Tests that include Estrone
Estrone (E1) is a form of estrogen primarily produced in adipose tissue and the ovaries. It plays a role in female reproductive health and is often measured to assess hormonal balance, especially during menopause or in estrogen-related conditions.
- Estrone One of the three main forms of estrogen, produced mainly by fat tissue and more prominent after menopause. Reflects overall estrogen status.

- Estrone One of the three main forms of estrogen, produced mainly by fat tissue and more prominent after menopause. Reflects overall estrogen status.
This panel measures the concentrations of estrone and estradiol, the 2 most potent estrogens that are biologically active. This panel may help assess estrogen status in children and nonpregnant adults.
- Estradiol, Ultrasensitive, LC/MS A more precise version of the estradiol test, able to detect the very low levels typical in men, children, and postmenopausal women.
- Estrone One of the three main forms of estrogen, produced mainly by fat tissue and more prominent after menopause. Reflects overall estrogen status.
This panel measures the concentrations of estrone, estradiol, and estriol, the 3 main types of estrogens in serum. This panel may be useful in assessing estrogen status.
- Estradiol, Ultrasensitive, LC/MS A more precise version of the estradiol test, able to detect the very low levels typical in men, children, and postmenopausal women.
- Estriol A form of estrogen produced mainly during pregnancy by the placenta. Used in prenatal screening for certain fetal conditions.
- Estrone One of the three main forms of estrogen, produced mainly by fat tissue and more prominent after menopause. Reflects overall estrogen status.
