“…This is corroborated by the effects of combinations of 20 or 30 pg EE with 150 pg DG; on day 21 of one treatment cycle, the SHBG levels differed only by 16% and those of CBG by 12% [ 10], At the end of the cycle of treatment with both formula tions, LH and FSH were profoundly suppressed. A pre vious study with 50/50 EE revealed a decrease of LH and FSH at the end of the 6th treatment cycle which was, how ever, not significant [18]. In our study, no significant reduction of gonadotropins was observed on day 7, the last day of intake of 50 pg or 40 pg EE + 25 pg DG.…”

“…Thirdly, there was an EEi-induced rise in SHBG concentrations in the plasma by approximately 124% as compared to pretreatment values and since it is well known that LNG has a high affinity to this binding pro tein [8], a concomitant increase in total concentrations of LNG in the plasma can be expected. A similar rise in SHBG levels in plasma of women using this particular contraceptive preparation has been reported previously by several authors [9][10][11], although a smaller increase has been observed as well [12]. In the present study, SHBG levels reached pretreatment values about 3 weeks after the last treatment day.…”

“…This also likely explains our lack of power to detect a significant modifying effect of age on the OCP–NAFLD association. As early work has revealed that women taking OCPs generally have a low concentration of plasma estrogen [35, 36], we believe that endogenous estrogen may not be involved in this differential relationship by age in current OCP users.…”
