Oestradiol hormone. Molecular model of the structure of the female sex hormone oestradiol. Atoms are represented as rods and are colour- coded: carbon (blue),hydrogen (gold),and oxygen (red). Oestradiol is one of three naturally- occurring oestrogens,a class of hormones that are associated with the development of the female reproductive organs and secondary sex characteristics.
