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

Effects of oral contraceptives on carbohydrate metabolism are discussed. Most oral contraceptives induce

carbohydrate metabolism changes to some extent, but the extent of the change depends on the preparation and on

the metabolic characteristics of the patient. Hypersecretion of insulin is nearly always present. Changes in

hyperglycemia curves have been reported in many studies, while other researchers have reported none. The

changes, especially diabetogenic effects, appear to evolve during the course of treatment, but are reversible. Effects

of single substances on carbohydrate metabolism are not well known. The mechanism of carbohydrate metabolism

effects may be via the stimulating effect of estrogens on the secretion of somatotropin, or via an interference of

estrogens in tryps tryptophan metabolism. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3044-06)
