Serum 2-Hydroxyestradiol 17-Sulphate in Pregnancy.

Abstract: Abstract.2-Hydroxyestradiol 17-sulphate (2-OH E2-17-S) is a catecholized form of sulphated estrogen. In vitro studies showed that its antioxidative effect is almost equal to that of free catecholestrogens, such as 2-OH E2 or 4-OH E2 and a-tocoferol, but the existance of 2-OH E2-17-S in human serum has not yet been made clear. 2-OH E2-17-S strongly antagonizes lipid peroxidation, and so it may play an important role in pregnancy, for example as an anti-oxidant in pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). The serum … Show more

“…Recently, we proposed 2-hydroxyestradiol 17-sulfate (2-OH-E 2 -17-S, Scheme 1) as a placental antioxidant based on the following lines of evidence: the increase in plasma (5) or urinary (6) 2-OH-E 2 -17-S concentration with the progress of gestation; a significant difference in the amount present between healthy and preeclamptic pregnancies (6); its strong inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation (7); and the capacity of the placenta to produce 2-OH-E 2 -17-S from estradiol 17-sulfate (8). To prove our proposal, the antioxidant effect of 2-OH-E 2 -17-S was investigated by conducting ex vivo experiments.…”
