Blood hormone levels in egyptian women on norethisterone oenanthate. 1983

F M Saleh, and H N Sallam, and H Abdel-Rahman, and A R Souka, and S Y El-Sahwi, and H K Toppozada

Ten Egyptian women who were using the injectable contraceptive norethisterone oenanthate (NET-OEN) for at least 6 months were monitored weekly for a period of 12 weeks by measuring 3 pituitary hormones (FSH, LH and prolactin) and 2 ovarian hormones (oestradiol 17-B and progesterone). It was concluded that NET-OEN is a strong ovulation inhibitor, at least after its use for 6 months. Prolactin levels were depressed and this is in contradiction with the findings in rats.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007267 Injections Introduction of substances into the body using a needle and syringe. Injectables,Injectable,Injection
D007986 Luteinizing Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Luteinizing hormone regulates steroid production by the interstitial cells of the TESTIS and the OVARY. The preovulatory LUTEINIZING HORMONE surge in females induces OVULATION, and subsequent LUTEINIZATION of the follicle. LUTEINIZING HORMONE consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

D009640 Norethindrone A synthetic progestational hormone with actions similar to those of PROGESTERONE but functioning as a more potent inhibitor of ovulation. It has weak estrogenic and androgenic properties. The hormone has been used in treating amenorrhea, functional uterine bleeding, endometriosis, and for CONTRACEPTION. 19-Norpregn-4-en-20-yn-3-one, 17-hydroxy-, (17alpha)-,Ethinylnortestosterone,Norethisterone,Norpregneninolone,Conceplan,Micronor,Monogest,Nor-QD,Norcolut,Norcolute,Norethindrone, (1 beta)-Isomer,Norlutin,Nor QD,NorQD
D010060 Ovulation The discharge of an OVUM from a rupturing follicle in the OVARY. Ovulations
D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.
