Abstract
On the metal complex formation of sex hormones and related substances in an ethanol solution by the ultraviolet absorption method, following results were obtained.
Diethylstilbestrol was observed to form the complexes with copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese, zinc, ferrous and ferric in a ethanol solution by spectrophotometry and other hormones were observed: estradiol; copper, cobalt: estradiol benzoate; copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese, zinc, ferric: estriol; copper, ferric: estrone; copper, manganese: testosterone; copper, ferrous, ferric: androsterone; copper: testosterone propionate; copper, nickel: phenylthiourea; copper, cobalt cholesterol; copper, ferric: lecithin; ferric
