This review is concerned with a general discussion of the actions of ovarian hormones, including relaxin, a polypeptide hormone, and estrogens and progestogens, which are two types of steroid hormones. Particular emphasis is placed on describing the sites of action and target organ responses induced by the two steroid hormones. A detailed description of estrogen activity in reproductive tract tissue is given as an example of the intracellular mechanism of action of this steroid hormone.
