  12. I noticed that DES is an estrogen, but its structure is totally different
  13. from other estrogens (in fact from all other steroids), because it doesn't
  14. have the four ring structure.  So what's going on here?  Does it get
  15. metabolized to a normal estrogen or does it work some other way?
