Serum bile acids in women taking combination contraceptives
Contraception
|December 1, 1979
Abstract:
A longitudinal study in 60 women was undertaken to observe the changes, if any, in serum bile acids after taking oral combination pills containing either 50 or 30 microgram of ethinyl estradiol. The women were followed up to 12 months. Serum bile acids (cholyglycine conjugates) were estimated by radioimmunoassay. The combination contraceptives had no appreciable effect on serum bile acids.
