| Popis: | Serum triglycerides, free fatty acids, phospholipids, and cholesterol were estimated in groups of women who were taking either norgestrel, megestrol acetate, daily combination tablet, once-a-month pill, or once-a-month injection as a method of contraception. These estimations were done prior to and during therapy at specific times over a period of 2 years. A significant reduction in serum lipids was observed in women taking norgestrel. The women on megestrol acetate showed practically no changes. All the lipid fractions were significantly elevated in women taking combination pills. Raised serum cholesterol was observed in women receiving once-a-month injection. |
