SOME EFFECTS OF
STRADIOL BENZOATE ON IRON METABOLISM IN THE IMMATURE PULLET
1 The Departments of Biochemistry and Veterinary Physiology, University of Edinburgh
The injection of
stradiol benzoate (18 mg. in six 48-hourly doses) into pullets 12-14 weeks old caused a fall in blood hæmoglobin and a large rise in plasma iron. A possible slight increase in non-hæm iron in the liver was also noted.
Note:
The authors are indebted to the Agricultural Research Council for a grant from which some of the expenses were defrayed; to Dr. A. W. Greenwood and the staff of the Poultry Research Centre for their willing and indispensable co-operation; and to Winifred Martin and Joyce Buchanan for technical assistance.
