The effects of exogenous estradiol on plasma calcium and femoral bone structure were studied in young male and female alligators. Males and females responded in the same manner to estrogen treatment. Eight days after the initial injection, plasma calcium was significantly greater in experimentals than in controls. No changes in femoral bone structure were observed.
