Correct, estrone is one of the estrogens which are a group of steroid compounds that function as the primary female sex hormones; others are estradiol and estriol. While estrogens are present in both men and women, they are usually present at significantly higher levels in women of reproductive age. Estrogens promote the development of female secondary sex characteristics, such as breasts, and are also involved in the thickening of the endometrium and other aspects used in the regulation of the menstrual cycle.
