ABSTRACT
Adult female rabbits were given daily intramuscular injections of 0.5 microgram of oestradiol diproprionate for four weeks. Weekly drum-stick counts were made from their blood smears and percent incidences of drum-sticks in the neutrophils was recorded. A highly significant increase in the drum-stick counts compared to the control animals was noted after one week's treatment with the oestrogen. Subsequent values after 2nd, 3rd and 4th week's treatment were not significantly different from values obtained from the corresponding untreated animals. It was concluded that oestrogen produces only an initial increase in the drumstick count and subsequent continued treatment neither increases nor decreases the drum-stick counts significantly.
