1. The effects of oestrogen on thrombogenesis and the cerebral microcirculation of the female rat were studied during the oestrous cycle and after ovariectomy. 2. Serum levels of oestradiol (E-2) and plasma concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) metabolites were significantly greater at pro-oestrus than at dioestrus. Blood vessel diameter, mean red cell velocity, wall shear rate and blood flow at pro-oestrus were significantly higher than at dioestrus. Thrombotic tendency, assessed using a He-Ne laser-induced thrombosis model, was significantly decreased at pro-oestrus compared with dioestrus. 3. The long-term deprivation of oestrogen by ovariectomy significantly depressed serum levels of E-2 and plasma concentrations of NO metabolites. Thrombotic tendency was significantly increased 4 weeks after ovariectomy. Vessel diameter, mean red cell velocity, wall shear rate and blood flow in pial arterioles were significantly reduced after ovariectomy. 4. Exogenous administration of oestrogen (17beta-oestradiol) after surgery reversed the increased thrombotic tendency mediated by ovariectomy. 5. These results strongly indicate that oestrogen mediates beneficial effects on the cerebral microcirculation and moderates cerebral thrombotic mechanisms in the female rat.
