Presence of 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human semen: evidence of correlation with semen characteristics.

abstract：:Estradiol benzoate (EB) has been one of the most widely used estrogenic agents in animal husbandry, as a way of exogenously introducing the natural hormone estradiol-17β into the animal organism. Estradiol was previously employed to induce anabolic effects or reproductive improvements in cattle. However, the employmen...
