INTERRELATION BETWEEN ANTERIOR-PITUITARY WEIGHT AND CERULOPLASMIN LEVEL IN SERUM AFTER ESTROGEN ADMINISTRATION IN MALE RATS

Abstract

Male rats were injected with 1 mg estradiol benzoate in microcrystalline H2O suspension i.m. twice a wk for 3 wk. A signficant correlation was found between the weight of anterior pituitary and ceruloplasmin level in serum (r = 0.358; P < 0.01).
