Measurement of lipids levels and lipase enzyme in women who take birth control pills in Samarra

Abstract

The current study aimed to explicate the effect of preventative pill effect on the lipids levels and lipase activity. The study design included two groups each consists of thirty women; preventative pill group (women who were taking contraceptive pills) and control group (women who were not taking contraceptive pills), their ages ran between (20-40) year. Blood samples were collected for the period from 1/11/2019 to 3/1/2020. Results of this study showed that there was a significant increase in the levels of total cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoproteins-cholesterol (LDL-C) and very low-density lipoproteins-cholesterol (VLDL-C) in contraceptive pills group compared to control group, while there was a significant decrease in Lipase activity and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) level in contraceptive pills group compared with control group.
