Interrelation between anterior pituitary weight and ceruloplasmin level in serum after estrogen administration in male rats.
Male rats were injected 11 mg estradiol benzoate in microcrystalline water suspension i. m. twice a week for three weeks. A significant correlation was found between the weight of anterior pituitary and ceruloplasmin level in serum (r = 0.358; P less than 0.01).
