title: Serum oestrone, oestradiol and oestriol concentrations in castrated women during intramuscular oestradiol valerate and oestradiolbenzoate-oestradiolphenylpropionate therapy.
abstract: Serum oestrone, oestradiol and oestriol concentrations were studied during intramuscular Primogyn Depot (10 mg of oestradiolvalerate) and Dimenformon prolongatum (2.5 mg of oestradiolbenzoate + 10 mg of oestradiolphenylpropionate) treatments. The serum oestrone concentrations were markedly elevated in both therapeutic groups 24 h after the injection. After the Primogyn Depot injection the serum oestrone concentration 10 days after the injection was still significantly higher than the pretreatment level. The serum oestradiol concentrations of both groups were markedly elevated 24 h after the injections and were significantly higher than the pretreatment concentration 10 days later. The oestriol values were low during both treatments.
