Glossary17α-estradiol

stereoisomer of estradiol studied for treating hair loss

17α-estradiol, also known as 17-alpha-estradiol, is a stereoisomer of the hormone estradiol. Unlike its more common counterpart, 17β-estradiol, 17α-estradiol has weaker estrogenic activity but has been studied for its potential benefits in treating conditions like androgenic alopecia (hair loss) due to its ability to modulate androgen metabolism.
