Equine estrogens, or horse estrogens, are estrogens found in horses. They include the following:
Estradiol Estrone Equilin (Δ7-estrone) Equilenin (Δ6,8-estrone) 17α-Dihydroequilin (Δ7-17α-estradiol) 17β-Dihydroequilin (Δ7-17β-estradiol) 17α-Dihydroequilenin (Δ6,8-17α-estradiol) 17β-Dihydroequilenin (Δ6,8-17β-estradiol) 8,9-Dehydroestrone (Δ8-estrone) 8,9-Dehydroestradiol (Δ8-17β-estradiol) Hippulin (Δ8-14-isoestrone)
As well as their conjugates, such as estrone sulfate.
Equine estrogens are found in the human medications conjugated estrogens (Premarin) and esterified estrogens (Estratab, Menest).
