Abstract
Unconjugated and total oestriol (E3) have been determined in saliva (S) and plasma (P) by radioimmunoassay using a highly specific antiserum against E3. Total oestrogens (E = E1 + E2 + E3) in urine were analysed by the Kober-Ittrich method. No correlation (P> 0.05) was found between unconjugated E3 (S) and total E (U) as well as total E3 (S) and total E (U). Total E3 (S) and unconjugated E3 (P), total E3 (S) and total E3 (P) correlated weakly (P < 0.05 and > 0.01). The six remaining correlations were highly significant (P < 0.001 or < 0.0001).This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
