文摘

The rate of tritiated E2 removal is not affected by the amount of E2 available. Half of the radiolabel absorbed is retained and half is excreted as E2 3-sulfate. New method for separating free and conjugated E2 metabolites in mussel tissues. Average ratio of free, sulfated and esterified E2 in mussel tissue is 10:10:80. The presence of E2 in mussels is not evidence of endogenous synthesis.
