Estrogen and testosterone enter cells primarily through passive diffusion due to their lipophilic (fat-soluble) nature. Once inside the cell, these hormones bind to specific intracellular receptors, which then translocate to the nucleus to regulate gene expression. Additionally, some cells may have transport proteins that facilitate the uptake of these hormones. Overall, their entry into cells is crucial for mediating their physiological effects.
estrogen is formed by the granulosa cells of the follicle. Theca interna cells contain leutinizing hormone receptors that convert LH into testosterone. Granulosa cells contain testosterone receptors that convert testosterone to estrogen. These are the basic steps for the production of estrogen.
Estrogen and testosterone are classified as steroids. Estrogen and testosterone are present in both men and women, but at different levels.
The female equivalent of testosterone is estrogen.

Testosterone and estrogen dont stop puberty. The levels just decrease so there is no more growth.
The male hormone is Testosterone. Estrogen is the female hormone but women also have some Testosterone and that is what makes them aroused.
Yes it has a compound that slows the transformation of testosterone into estrogen.
