| Popis: | Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were performed on 146 Nigerian women volunteers using one of three types of steroidal contraceptives: high-dose combined pills; low-dose combined pills and injectable progesterone. Twenty-six appropriately matched nonusers served as controls. The OGTT curves were analysed using the H-index (HI). Women on injectable progesterone and high-dose combined pills, respectively, had significantly higher (P less than 0.05) mean HI than the controls. The low-dose combined pills had the least effect on carbohydrate metabolism. |
