Abstract
Serum oestradiol/oestrone ratios were measured during various oestrogen treatments
in castrated women. Oral oestriol succinate therapy (8 mg/day) caused little change
in the pre-treatment oestradiol/oestrone ratio. During oestradiol valerianate therapy
(2 mg/day) serum total oestrogens and the E2/E1 ratio were considerably increased. One day after the injection of 10 mg of oestradiol
valerianate and 2.5 mg of oestradiol benzoate + 10 mg of oestradiol phenylpropionate
the E2/E1 ratio was similar to the ratio in the middle of the normal ovulatory cycle. The change
in serum oestriol was rather small after oral doses of 8 mg of oestriol succinate
15, 30 and 120 min after the application.
