What does ESTRIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
technicalhistoricalchemistry
An older scientific name for estrogen, especially the hormone now usually called estrone.
Estrin was an early laboratory name for the group of hormones now generally called estrogens, coined when chemists were still isolating and naming these compounds in the early twentieth century. Modern biochemistry mostly replaced estrin with the more precise names estrone and estradiol, so the older term now appears chiefly in older scientific papers and word lists rather than in current research. Estrin is also used as an American spelling of the equally old form oestrin. Readers meeting the word today are usually looking at historical chemistry rather than a term still in active laboratory use.
