Summary. Plasma concentrations of ethynyl oestradiol and norethindrone in women were measured by radioimmunoassays after oral administration of 50 pg and 1000 pg respectively. The maximum values were obtained 1 h after administration. The calculated half-life was 6\ m=1/ 2\ h for ethynyl oestradiol and 7 h for norethindrone. At most 2\ p=n-\ 3% of the administered dose was present in the plasma at 1 h and had decreased to about 0\ m=. \ 5 % by 24 h.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
