Abstract

In studies for the chronic toxicity of estrogens and gestagens, lysozyme and hemolytic complement (CH50U) in sera of beagle dogs and minipigs were measured. Various doses of the sexsteroids were given: 0.01 mg, 0.1 mg and 1.0 mg/kg respectively. The influence of the steroids on the tested parameters after an application for 6 months was not significant, only in a single series with unphysiologically, high dosages of the preparations were some values changed significantly.
