Serum concentrations of estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), estrone sulfate (E1S) and testosterone (T) were quantified in male pigs at 10 ages from 2 wk to 2 yr. Changes in the concentrations of all 4 of these hormones were characterized by elevated amounts during neonatal development (1 to 3 wk of age), a nadir for concentration of each hormone between 1 and 3 mo. of age, an increase during pubertal development with maximal concentrations at 8 mo. of age, and no further change by 2 yr of age. E1S was predominant of the 3 estrogens at all age groups with mean concentrations that ranged from 2 to 33 ng/ml. E1 was present in higher concentrations during neonatal development than E2, while the reverse situation was observed after 4 mo. of age. Early neonatal and pubertal development in male pigs is associated with elevated serum estrogen concentrations.
