In this experiment 20 one year old bulls received a single intramuscular injection of the anabolic preparation diethylstilbestrol dipropionate (DES-DP) (an oil preparation or an emulsion). Four animals received a corresponding placebo. The application of DES-DP to bulls caused characteristic histological alterations in the peripheral glandular epithelium of the prostate, which could be observed until four weeks after treatment. The value of histological investigation as a screening method was, however, limited by the occurrence of only few metaplastic lesions and a rapid recovery. By contrast, immunohistochemistry using a polyclonal cytokeratin antiserum K40 appeared to be a specific and very sensitive method to detect oestrogen-induced lesions in the prostate. In only two animals, six weeks after injection with the DES-emulsion, false-negative results were obtained, demonstrating the potential value of this screening method. The excretion of DES in the urine and faeces was monitored using radioimmunoassay following chromatographic purification of the urine and faeces extracts. The excretion of DES in urine was faster for animals of the oil group. The DES content in urine decreased to the 1 microgram/l level after 42 days (emulsion group) or 70 days (oil group). The excretion in faeces was comparable to that in urine. After day 21 the excretion patterns of the two excreta were indistinguishable.
