Estratetraenol
Estratetraenol, also known as EST, is a steroid and pheromone found in both male and female sweat. It is chemically similar to the female sex hormone estradiol, but has a different effect on the body.
Chemical Structure[edit | edit source]
Estratetraenol is a steroid with the chemical formula C18H22O2. It has a molecular weight of 270.366 g/mol. The structure of estratetraenol includes four double bonds, hence the name "tetraenol".
Biological Role[edit | edit source]
Estratetraenol is believed to act as a pheromone in humans, although this is still a subject of ongoing research. Some studies suggest that it can influence mood and sexual attraction, particularly in men. However, other studies have found no effect, and the role of estratetraenol in human behavior remains controversial.
Research[edit | edit source]
Research into the effects of estratetraenol on human behavior is ongoing. Some studies have suggested that exposure to estratetraenol can increase feelings of intimacy and attraction in men, while others have found no effect. More research is needed to fully understand the role of this compound in human behavior.
