RESUMEN
Estetrol es un esferoide estrogénico sintetizado exclusivamente por el hígado fetal, que traspasa a la circulación materna por la placenta. Descrito por primera vez por Diczfalusy en 1965. Desde esa fecha se han realizado diversas investigaciones preclínicas. En los últimos años, el interés por el estetrol ha aumentado, dado el logro de su síntesis en el laboratorio y la demostración de su buena biodisponibilidad y larga vida media al administrarlo por vía oral a mujeres. Se presenta una revisión de su síntesis, metabolismo y de la información científica existente de sus diferentes efectos en los tejidos estrógeno sensibles en distintos modelos animales.
ABSTRACT
Estetrol is an estrogenic steroid synthesized exclusively by the fetal liver. It crosses over from the placenta to the maternal circulation. It was first described in 1965 by Diczfalusy and from this date onwards, several preclinical investigations have been carried out. In recent years, the interest for estetrol has been growing due to its laboratory synthesis and the demonstration of its good bioavailability together with its long half life, when administered orally to women. A review of its synthesis, metabolism and existing scientific information on its different effects on estrogen sensitive tissues, in a variety of animal models, is here presented.
