Abstract:
Changes in the number and structure of chromosomes in peripheral lymphocytes of 31 healthy women using oral contraceptives (OC) were studied. Blood samples were taken prior to and after one, two and three months of using oral contraceptives. No significant differences were found in evaluating numerical anomalies but highly significant differences were detected in structural aberrations and in structural aberrations without gaps.
