    GlossaryEstrogenic Activity

    ability of a substance to mimic or influence estrogen effects

    Estrogenic activity refers to the ability of a substance to mimic or influence the effects of estrogen, a primary female sex hormone, in the body. This can impact various biological processes, including reproductive health, bone density, and hair growth. Substances with estrogenic activity can bind to estrogen receptors and trigger similar responses as natural estrogen, which is why they are significant in both medical treatments and environmental health studies.
