Az ösztrogénhormonok fiziológiai szerepe sok tekintetben ismert. Meglehetősen kevés információ áll azonban rendelkezésre az ösztron és az ösztradiol lebontása során képződő vegyületek szerepéről a különböző, ösztrogénhatással összefüggésbe hozott kórképekben. A kutatások intenzív érdeklődésének középpontjában jelenleg a két ösztrogénhormon mellett tizenhárom extragonadális metabolit áll. A képződő metabolitok protektív vagy éppen proinflammatorikus és/vagy proonkogén hatással rendelkeznek. A szisztémás keringésben mért metabolitszintek nem mutatnak összefüggést a lokálisan megjelenő metabolitokéval, ennek a jövőben diagnosztikai jelentősége lehet. A jelen tanulmány célja a perifériás szövetekben az extragonadális metabolommal kapcsolatos irodalmi források átfogó áttekintése, valamint felhívni a figyelmet a perifériás szövetek ösztrogénhomeosztázisának szerepére, az ösztrogénmetabolom igazolt, valamint a klasszikus hormonhatásoktól eltérő biológiai aktivitására, egyes kórfolyamatokban azonosított klinikai jelentőségére. Ezek az ismeretek a lokálisan determinált kórfolyamatok megértését, korai diagnosztikáját a későbbiekben a metabolomika eszköztárával jelentősen segíthetik. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(24): 929–937.
