1. A preliminary attempt has been made to assess the importance of the faecal route for the excretion of oestrogens in the sheep using a chemical method of determination.
2. Urinary excretion accounted for no more than 2% of the injected oestradiol-17β whilst the faecal excretion was calculated to be 35–40%.
3. The evidence suggests that the main metabolite in the faeces is oestradiol-17α.
4. These results help to explain the very low values for oestrogen excretion found in this species using bioassay.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
