N. GOODMAN and R. L. HAZELWOOD<br \/>\nStudies were undertaken to determine the effects and possible mode of action of <strong>17\u03b2-oestradiol benzoate (OEB)<\/strong> in alloxan-diabetic male rats. Adlibitum or pair-fed normal, diabetic, and hypophysectomized rats received daily subcutaneous injections of 10 \u03bcg OEB for 10 days. In normal rats, OEB decreased plasma glucose, increased plasma immunoreactive insulin, growth hormone and corticosteroid levels, increased pancreatic \u03b2-cell granulation, and enhanced glucose stimulation of insulin release in vitro. In alloxan-diabetic rats, OEB treatment decreased urinary glucose excretion, increased plasma growth hormone and corticosteroid levels and slightly enlarged the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. In hypophysectomized rats, OEB decreased plasma glucose, increased plasma insulin levels, and slightly enlarged the pancreatic islets of Langerhans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These results suggest that OEB affects experimental diabetes by a direct action on the pancreas, promoting insulin formation,<\/strong> and possibly by an indirect action mediated through hypophysial secretions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Also see: Estrogen, Uterine Fibroids, and Thyroid Nodules Autoimmune Disease and Estrogen Connection Hormonal profiles in women with breast cancer PUFA Increases Estrogen PUFA Inhibit Glucuronidation PUFA Promote Cancer Maternal PUFA Intake Increases Breast Cancer Risk in Female Offspring Vitamin A: Anti-Cancer and Anti-Estrogen Toxic Plant Estrogens The Dire Effects of Estrogen Pollution Progesterone: Essential [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[93,1076,7,1209,532,313,92,69],"class_list":["post-3803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","tag-blood-sugar","tag-brain","tag-estrogen","tag-glycogen","tag-hypoglycemia","tag-insulin","tag-obesity","tag-weight-gain"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.functionalps.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.functionalps.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.functionalps.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.functionalps.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.functionalps.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3803"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.functionalps.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3803\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8318,"href":"https:\/\/www.functionalps.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3803\/revisions\/8318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.functionalps.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.functionalps.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.functionalps.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
