2-Hydroxyestradiol, a metabolite of 17β-estradiol with minimal estrogenic activity, possesses antioxidant effects and reacts with DNA to form stable adducts and exerts genotoxicity[1][3].
2-Hydroxyestradiol induces phenotypical changes indicative of neoplastic transformation[1].
2-Hydroxyestradiol (2-OHE2) is capable of in vitro transforming a HBEC, MCF-10F cell line, that is estrogen receptor-a (ERα) negative and ERβ positive[1].
2-Hydroxyestradiol induces oxidative DNA damage and apoptosis in human mammary epithelial cells[3].
2-Hydroxyestradiol attenuated the development of obesity and improved endothelial function, decreased nephropathy, decreased the severity of diabetes, lowered arterial blood pressure, and reduced plasma cholesterol[2].
