How it works
Estradiol is a steroid hormone and, therefore, can easily cross the cell membrane. Estrone binds to its specific intracellular receptor and regulates DNA transcription for protein formation. The mechanism of action of cyproterone involves blocking the androgen receptor. Cyproterone is an antiandrogen. It suppresses the actions of testosterone (and its metabolite dihydrotestosterone) on tissues.
