We report the effects of sublingual absorption of a single dose (0.5 mg) of oestradiol-17β (E2) in 8 post-menopausal women, on plasma E2 and oestrone (E1), urine elimination of total E2 + E1 and on plasma FSH and LH.
The results show that sublingual absorption of E2 occurs and that plasma concentrations of E2 obtained (between 133.2 to 320 pmol/1) in this way were higher than those obtained after percutaneous absorption of a single dose (3 mg)of E2.
The ratio E1/E2 in plasma is close to that of pre-menopausal women.
EJE is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
