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

Impaired glucose tolerance in 49 women taking Envoid (5 mg norethynodrel, .075 mg mestranol) is reported and

evidence that mestranol is the disposing factor is presented. 23 of 38 (61%) women who had taken the drug for more

than 10 months had triglyceride levels greater than 110 mg/100 ml. Generally, triglyceride levels increased with the

duration of treatment. However, cholesterol levels were not markedly increased. Administration of mestranol alone

resulted in a prompt increase in plasma triglyceride levels. Except for 1 woman who had been under long-term

Enovid treatment, triglyceride levels returned to normal soon after discontinuation of treatment. The results suggest

that hypertriglyceridemia resulting from oral contraceptives containing estrogens is due to an alteration in liver

function. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 1087-06)
