Summary The naturally occurring oestrogens, oestrone and oestriol, were given by intraarterial infusion into the brachial artery and by intravenous injection. No changes in blood flow through the hand or forearm were observed with either route of administration. Intravenous injection resulted in a significant rise in blood pressure but no significant changes in heart rate or limb vascular resistance. It is suggested that this rise in blood pressure may be due to a direct action of the hormones on the heart.
