ResumoUrine samples were collected daily during ten nonfertile and four fertile ovarian cycles of four adult female lion-tailed macaques (Macaca silenus). Urine was analyzed for concentrations of total immunoreactive estrogen (Et), estrone conjugates, and bioactive luteinizing hormones (LH). The estrone conjugates of selected samples were separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to evaluate the relative proportions of estrone glucuronide (E1 G) to estrone sulfate (E1 S) contributing to the sum total of the conjugate measured in the samples.
