Metabolic clearance rates of catechol estrogens in rats

P Ball, G Emons, H Kayser and J Teichmann

MCRs of the catechol estrogens 4-hydroxyestradiol (4-OHE2) and 2- hydroxyestradiol (2-OHE2) and of the parent estrogen 17 beta-estradiol (E2) were determined in rats. Long term ovariectomized Wistar rats were infused with the steroids at a constant rate for 3 days via a catheter placed in the abdominal aorta. Blood samples were drawn discontinually by retroorbital puncture, and the serum concentrations of E2, 4-OHE2, and 2-OHE2 were measured by RIA. Steady state was reached within 24 h of infusion. Mean serum MCRs were calculated to be 740 +/- 117 ml/h for E2, 2700 +/- 1000 ml/h for 4-OHE2, and 8300 +/- 1700 ml/h for 2-OHE2. Thus, the MCRs of the catechol estrogens were definitely higher than the MCR of E2 resulting in an apparent ratio of 1:4:11 (E2:4-OHE2:2- OHE2).
