The MCRs of 17 beta-dihydroequilin sulfate and 17 beta-dihydroequilin were determined in normal postmenopausal women by single iv injection of either 17 beta-[3H]dihydroequilin sulfate ([3H]17 beta-EqS) or 17 beta-[3H]dihydroequilin ([3H]17 beta-Eq). After the administration of [3H]17 beta-EqS, blood was drawn
