Remarkable morphological and physiological changes may be brought about by the administration of estrogenic hormones to the prepuberal pullet. These changes may include increases of the oviduct weight, liver weight, liver protein and liver lipid as well as of the levels of calcium, phosphorus, protein and lipid in the blood. There is some experimental evidence that these responses may be conditioned by the effects of the thyroid hormones. There is a somewhat more limited literature on the effects of the antithyroid agent, thiouracil, on estrogen-induced changes of serum calcium, serum protein, liver weight, liver protein and liver lipid.
