Beeinflussung des Lipidstoffwechsels durch Oestrogenderivate

The effect of phenolic steroids with low estrogenic activity on the serum lipids was studied in male rats. The phospholipid and free fatty acid concentration of the animals increased significantly after the treatment with estrogens, hydroxylated or methoxylated in C-2, C-3 and C-4 positions. The concentrations of fatty acid esters were lowered, and there was a slight decrease of cholesterol.
