While oestrogens are present in both men and women, they are usually present at significantly higher levels in women of reproductive age. They promote the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, such as breasts, and are also involved in the thickening of the endometrium and other aspects of regulating the menstrual cycle. In males, oestrogen regulates certain functions of thereproductive system important to the maturation of sperm[9][10][11] and may be necessary for a healthy libido.[12][13] Furthermore, there are several other structural changes induced by oestrogen in addition to other functions.
- Structural

- accelerate metabolism
- reduce muscle mass
- increase fat stores
- stimulate endometrial growth
- increase uterine growth
- increase vaginal lubrication
- thicken the vaginal wall
- maintenance of vessel and skin
- reduce bone resorption, increase bone formation
- morphic change (endomorphic -> mesomorphic -> ectomorphic)
- protein synthesis
- increase hepatic production of binding proteins
- coagulation
- increase circulating level of factors 2, 7, 9, 10, plasminogen
- decrease antithrombin III
- increase platelet adhesiveness
- Lipid
- increase HDL, triglyceride
- decrease LDL, fat deposition
- Fluid balance
- salt (sodium) and water retention
- increase cortisol, SHBG
- Gastrointestinal tract
- reduce bowel motility
- increase cholesterol in bile
- Melanin
- increase pheomelanin, reduce eumelanin
- Cancer
- support hormone-sensitive breast cancers
- Lung function

If the rat ovariectomized, the rate probably has osteoporosis (T score of -2.5 or less). Assuming this is a bone density test, the injection of estrogen will increase bone density, bringing its T score back toward the range of osteopenia (-1 to -2.49) or within normal bone density range (1 to -0.99).

The Endocrine System means the structure of glands that secrete hormones through the circulatory system into the receptive organs. The main Endocrine glands include; the Adrenal glands, Gastrointestinal tract, the Hypothalamus, the Ovaries, the Pineal gland, the Pituitary gland, the Pancreas, the Parathyroid gland, the Testes and the Thyroid gland.
There are other organs in the body, such as the Gonads, Heart, Kidney and Liver which have secondary endocrine functions. The gonads secrete Androgens and Estrogens. The heart secretes Peptins. The kidney secretes Erythropoietin and Renin. The liver secretes Angiotensin and Somatomedin.
They all work together as a system that keeps the internal structure healthy.
