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

16 adult female rhesus monkeys received combined oral quingestanol acetate and ethinyl estradiol in a 10:1 ration, 4

received steroids in a 20:1 ration. After 6 cycles of 21 days on and 7 days off the uterine alkaline and acid

phosphatases were analyzed histologically. Dose groups included: 4 monkeys given 4 mcg per kg ethinyl estradiol

and 40 mg quingestanol acetate, 4 given 20 and 200, 8 given 10 and 100, 4 given 50 and 1000. Most monkeys were

killed 8 days after the last dose. In the 6 controls glandular phosphatases were low in early follicular phase, highest

in late follicular phase, and declining in the stratum functionale in luteal phase; also acid phosphatase appeared in

the stromal cells with eccentric nuclei in luteal phase. 90% of the low and middle dose monkeys were in follicular

phase and had normal menstrual cycles. Their alkaline phosphatase was greater in stratum functionale than in

stratum basale, and the acid phsophatase resembled controls in follicular phase. Most monkeys given high doses

were in luteal phase and their enzymes were correlated with cycle phase. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 10-
