In experiments on direct effects of prolonged administration of estrogen on In experiments on direct effects of prolonged administration of estrogen on mean arterial pressure (MAP) and plasma corticosteroid-binding variables in the rabbit the following observations were made. Estrogen had no effect on MAP but resulted in a nonsignificant stimulation of total plasma corticosteroids and a marked increase in corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) binding capacity which increased from a control value of 18.8 +/- (SD) 1.2 micrograms/100 ml to 28.1 +/- 2.3 micrograms/100 ml (p less than 0.001) following the administration of estrogen for the first 21 days (approx. 10 micrograms/day) and then further to 31.4 +/- 2.8 (p less than 0.001 vs. control values) after a higher estrogen dose of approximately 30 micrograms/day for the next 30 days, respectively. Plasma aldosterone concentration was not affected by estrogen treatment. In contrast to CBG, binding of aldosterone to plasma aldosterone-binding globulin was totally absent before and following the estrogen treatment. The striking difference between the rabbit showing an absence of plasma protein binding of aldosterone and several other animal species is perhaps of great importance for the blood pressure regulation and for understanding of the particular resistance of blood pressure to salt or mineralocorticoids reported in this species.
