The complete spectrum of estrogen vascular effects remains unclear. In particular, estrogen effects in the vascular response to profound injury in males have not been explored in detail. Therefore, we submitted 44 male New Zealand rabbits weighing 3.4 ± 0.6 kg to overdistention balloon injury of the right iliac artery. Rabbits were given 17ß-estradiol (5.45 µmol/day, sc) or vehicle for 7 days before and 14 days after injury, when the arteries were examined by post-mortem histomorphometry. Arteriographic caliber was assessed in vivo at baseline and before sacrifice. On day 14 after injury, in vivo arteriographic caliber (baseline = 2.44 ± 0.43 mm) was decreased by 23.1 ± 0.1% in controls and by 44.5 ± 0.1% in estrogen-treated rabbits (P &lt; 0.001). Neither...
