The results obtained revealed that, estradiol benzoate significantly decreased serum Ca, Mg. K and PTH in serum and the studied tissues. Testosterone propionate injection significantly increase serum and glandular PTH with a significant decrease in serum P and Mg. The differences between the data obtained as a result of sex steroid injection were conducted to conclusion that steroids play a role in the embryological characters which related to the binding protein of calcium.
