What are the target cells for estrogen?

Estrogen primarily targets various cells in the body, including those in the reproductive organs such as the ovaries, uterus, and breasts. It also affects bone cells, adipocytes (fat cells), and cells in the cardiovascular system. Estrogen receptors present in these target cells mediate the hormone's effects on growth, development, and metabolic processes. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle and maintaining pregnancy.
