[edit] sonjaa's addition

I put your name to get your attention. I was trying to think of a scenario that matches your recent addtion here: in what circumstance would a woman whose estradiol is low due to transsexuality be given estrogen replacement? Do you mean a biological male who has changed sex and had himself castrated would then need estrogen replacement? Or maybe you had something else in mind? I wasn't planning to remove it if it wasn't an error, but perhaps we could clarify. thanks alteripse 21:49, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Production in fat cells

Does the production of estradiol in fat cells mostly take place in women? The text sounds like this is something that mainly is important for women. / Habj 20:37, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Needs work ???

This is a pretty weak article considering the mounds of research and significant findings that have resulted from these numerous studies.

Should be better now.Ekem 03:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This article doesn't mention birds.

It's worth noting that birds also use estradiol as a primary estrogen. There's a massive amount of information available on research with hormones in birds, especially songbirds.

[edit] Source for Sexual DIfferentiation of the Brain Section

It appears to be drawing from some sort of study or expirement or something, it would be great if anyone could track the source down for us.Velps 18:00, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Oh, I can do that! Have the refs here someplace - Alison^☺ 18:42, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Done! Can someone look it over and ensure everything is okay? I've expanded on the section just a little - Alison^☺ 19:21, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to reply so late, but the info in the second paragraph doesn't seem to match the abstract given at the citation link. Is there something I'm missing? Velps 20:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

• Let me check. I'll get back to you - Alison^☺ 21:27, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
• Ummm - is it the Simerly Quote^[1] or the Hulshoff one?^[2] Both of them seem to be linked in okay, though the ISSN of the latter only refers to the particular journal. Are you saying that the citations are maybe inappropriate? I'm confused! :) - Alison^☺ 21:33, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

No, no, I see now, I'd just misread. Velps 15:59, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture reformatting

Hi, I don't actually know how to do this but the image of the structure that appears on the main page is far too large. If it could be resized that would definitely make the page easier to view. Thanks Leftwing (talk) 22:51, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
