Estrone is a naturally occurring estrogen and one of the three major endogenous estrogens. It plays a role in the development and maintenance of female reproductive tissues and secondary sexual characteristics. Estrone has been used therapeutically in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and occasionally in the treatment of menopausal symptoms. Its use has declined due to preferences for other forms of estrogen and potential safety concerns.
