The urinary excretion of estrone glucosiduronate, 17 beta-estradiol-17-glucosiduronate, and estriol-16 alpha-glucosiduronate in men and throughout the menstrual cycle in women was measured by specific radioimmunoassay. In 9 men the mean +/- SE excretion of these conjugates was 15.9 +/- 1.4, 2.7 +/- 0.3, and 3.2 +/- 0.2 microgram/24 h respectively. In 15 women studied in the midfollicular phase (day 8) of the menstrual cycle, the excretion was 19.4 +/- 1.7, 2.9 +/- 0.2, and 5.4 +/- 1.3 micrograms/24 h. Excretion of each conjugate was significantly (P less than 0.01) elevated in the midluteal phase (day 22) to 41.9 +/- 3.9, 6.3 +/- 0.8, and 12.2 +/- 1.5 micrograms/24 h respectively (n = 14). The mean excretion of estriol-16 alpha-glucosiduronate was greater than that of 17 beta-estradiol-17-glucosiduronate in the luteal phase (P less than 0.05) but not in the follicular phase or in men (P greater than 0.05). The excretion of each of these specific conjugates measured throughout the menstrual cycle in 7 women was characterized by a sharp midcycle peak and a lower, broader luteal phase peak. The ratios of estriol-16 alpha-glucosiduronate to 17 beta-estradiol-17-glucosiduronate, estrone glucosiduronate to 17 beta-estradiol-17-glucosiduronate, and estriol-16 alpha-glucosiduronate to estrone glucosiduronate throughout the menstrual cycle were analyzed. When the mean ratio during the follicular phase was set at 1, a significant increase (P less than 0.01) occurred in the mean luteal phase ratio in each case: 1.00 +/- 0.03 to 1.66 +/- 0.09, 1.00 +/- 0.04 to 1.30 +/- 0.04, and 1.00 +/- 0.03 to 1.24 +/- 0.04 (mean +/- SE) respectively. The marked alteration in the proportions of these urinary estrogen conjugates may be due to altered metabolism of 17 beta-estradiol, but it more likely reflects a change in the pattern of estrogen secretion or production between the two phases of the menstrual cycle.
