PubHealth.info® (a subsidiary of PakMed) presents scientific information mainly based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics, particularly encompassing population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health, and communicable and non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are affecting a significant portion of population in developing and developed countries. Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health topics under category "Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning". Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

Estrogen (mestranol), 1 mcg/kg administered for 1 week decreased the tolerance of rats for methionine, and women

aged 20-30 years were prescribed oral contraceptives (OCs) after passing the methionine tolerance tests. The OCs

prescribed for women were 0.25 and 1 mg cholersuperlutin combined with 0.08 mg mestranol. In 1 group this OC

was combined with pyridoxine 120 mg daily in capsules. The study in rats showed oral administration of methionine

50 mg/kg to have no effect on endothelaemia counts. Tolerance for the same dose of methionine markedly

decreased in animals treated for 1 week with with an estrogen preparation of mestranol 1 mcg/kg orally. The effect of

estrogen treatment on methionine tolerance was completely prevented by simultaneous daily administration of

pyridoxine 10 mg/kg. In women the results were expressed in terms of endothelaemia counts before and after the

period of contraceptive treatment. In another group of women the OC was administered together with pyridoxine 120

mg daily for the same time period and no significant change in methionine tolerance was observed. The decreased

tolerance in women was prevented by administration of OCs in combination with pyridoxine. (PubHealth.info
