At week 20, the laser plus estriol group also showed incremental improvement in the VHI score (P = .01).

Some serum markers in second trimester of pregnancy are useful in determining risk of developmental and chromosomal anomalies; these include Alpha fetoprotein (AFP), Human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG), Unconjugated estriol (uE3) and Inhibin A (Inh-A).

For that reason, estriol (E3) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), second trimester serum markers, could be used as helpful markers.

In fact, estriol may not be needed as much as iodine to address the condition.

Please discuss with your gynecologist the possibility of topical Estriol cream.

MG: There are three main types of estrogen: estradiol, which [is the most abundant]; estrone, which is the most potent, and estriol. I prescribe Biest Cream, which contains 80% estriol, the safest form of estrogen, and 20% estradiol.

"This resulted in a marked increase in the compounded 'bioidentical' hormone therapy market primarily, we believe, because of a lot of hype that they might be safer, more effective, and that estriol might prevent breast cancer," Dr.

[E.sub.1] estrone; [E.sub.2]: estradiol; [E.sub.3]: estriol; 2-[OHE.sub.1]: 2-hydroxyestrone; 2-[OHE.sub.2]: 2-hydroxyestradiol; 16a-[OHE.sub.1] 16a-hydroxyestrone; chlormycetin.

Rhonda Voskuhl, a neurologist at UCLA, presented preliminary results of a clinical trial of the pregnancy hormone estriol combined with Copaxone[R] in relapsing-remitting MS.

Led by Director of the UCLA Department of Neurology's Multiple Sclerosis Program Rhonda Voskuhl, MD, the study was looking to find if women who took estriol, a female hormone that spikes during pregnancy, in addition to their Copaxone, a medication commonly prescribed to treat MS, would experience reduced relapse.

In addition, the Company is developing an oral estriol drug for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) and cognitive dysfunction in MS.

The word estrogen comes from "estrus", the willingness of a female to engage in mating activity, and includes three naturally occurring compounds: estradiol, estrone and estriol. While plants do not contain these, they do contain a variety of structurally related compounds that can mimic the action of human estrogens.

Estriol ([E.sub.3]), [8] together with 17 [beta]-estradiol ([E.sub.2]) and estrone ([E.sub.1]), constitute the major physiologic estrogens that are essential for development, establishment of secondary sex characteristics, maintenance of pregnancy, and regulation of bone metabolism.

The estrogens in women are estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), and estriol (E3).
