AbstractEstradiol in doses of 2 and 4 micrograms increased uterine triphenyltetrazolium (TTC) metabolism at day of breeding when administered for two days prior to breeding. Estradiol as administered in these experiments resulted in decreased uterine TTC metabolism at day 4 and 8 of gestation when compared to the metabolism of untreated females.Two micrograms of estradiol administered one and two days prior to breeding increased reproductive performance. Two micrograms of estradiol administered one day prior to breeding and at day of breeding drastically reduced reproductive performance.
