title: Estrone sulphate and estrone splanchnic extraction in postmenopausal women.
abstract: The splanchnic extraction of estrone sulphate (E1 S) and estrone (E1) was calculated in post-menopausal women undergoing cardiac catheterization for diagnostic purposes. The results showed a net uptake for E1 by the splanchnic area, liver included, whereas the splanchnic extraction of E1 S was not similar for each subject. Anyway the results clearly showed that the splanchnic area does not release significant amount of E1 S into the blood in the post-menopausal women.
