Abstract

A prospective randomized trial was conducted to compare efficacy of a drospirenone-containing combined oral contraceptives (COC) with desogestrel-containing COC in women with polycystic ovary-syndrome (PCOS) not desirous of child-bearing. Sixty women were randomized into study group [ethinylestradiol (EE) 30 mcg+drospirenone 3 mg] and control group (EE 30 mcg+desogestrel 150 mcg), treated for 6 months and followed up at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, during treatment and 3 and 6 months post-treatment. Acne and hirsutism scoring, bodyweight, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), ultrasound parameters, lipid profile, glycemic profile and hormonal profile were compared. Cycles were regular in both groups during treatment. Effect of regular cycles persisted in 44.83% (13/30) vs. 17.24% (5/30) in study vs. control group at 6 months post-treatment with 33.3% decreased hirsutism score in the study group (versus no change in control group) even at 6 months after stopping treatment. With treatment, BMI fell by 0.52 kg/m(2) in the study group; systolic and diastolic BP fell in the study group while it rose in the control group. Low-density lipoprotein significantly decreased and high-density lipoprotein was elevated in the study grou...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
