The Impact of Different Administration Routes of Hormonal Contraceptives on Androgen Synthesis, Glucose Metabolism and Inflammation. A Prospective Randomized Trial.
The Impact of Different Administration Routes of Hormonal Contraceptives on Androgen Synthesis, Glucose Metabolism and Inflammation. A Prospective Randomized Trial.
The impact of different administration routes of hormonal contraceptives on androgen secretion, glucose metabolism and inflammation. A prospective randomized trial.
The investigators assume, that transdermal or transvaginal hormonal contraception would have less effects on androgen levels, glucose metabolism and inflammatory markers than oral contraceptives.
45 patients are recruited in the study. Each study group will consist of 15 women (aged 20-35 years) receiving oral, transdermal or transvaginal hormonal contraception continuously for 9 weeks. The subjects should have at least 2 months wash out period from all hormonal medication prior to the study.
The measurements for serum sampling and OGTT will be performed before and after 9 weeks of medication.
