The effect of short-term (6 months) administration of conjugated equine estrogen (Premarin) on content and composition of the aortic sterols in male shite Carneau pigeons while they were on a cholesterol-free grain diet was investigated. Estrogen treatment resulted in a 38% increase (P less than 0.05) in free sterol concentration, with a 28.8% concomitant decrease (P less than 0.05) in the percent of cholesteryl esters. The total sterol concentration remained unchanged. This finding suggests that estrogens might influence the synthetic or hydrolytic (or both) processes that control the concentration of cholesteryl esters in the aorta. Fatty acid composition of steryl esters did not change significantly. The cholesterol content of plasma showed a mild reduction (14%) whereas the triglycerides increased significantly (30%).
