Abstract

It may be regarded as established that exogenous estrogen administered orally or by injection induces increases in the liver lipid, liver crude protein, total liver ribonuoleic acid phosphorus (RNAP) and to a lesser extent, total liver deoxyribonucleic acid phosphorus (DNAP) of the immature fowl. Furthermore, it has been shown that estrogen induces great increases in the serum lipid. This increase in large measure represents an increase in phospholipid and it is associated with an increase in serum phosphoprotein, which is also evoked by estrogen. It is further known that estrogen induces great increases in the level of the serum calcium especially of the non-diffusible traction.
