[Lipoprotein changes during hormonal treatment of endometriosis with lynestrenol and danazol]. 1984

A T Teichmann, and H Wieland, and P Cremer, and W Kuhn, and D Seidel

The Lipoprotein profile of 24 patients with endometriosis was determined before, during and after the treatment with the two steroid hormones Lynestrenol (10 mg/day) and Danazol (600-800 mg/day). The total cholesterol triglycerides, beta-, prebeta-, and Alphalipo -protein bound to cholesterol were determined. Both hormones cause a marked lowering of the Alpha-Lp-cholesterin. In addition, the beta-LP-cholesterin was elevated and the beta-alpha-LP-ratio was elevated. In the dosage used by us, Lynestrenol showed less effect on the Lipoprotein profile. Danazol caused changed in the beta- and alpha-lipoprotein pattern of highly pathological atherogenic types. The total cholesterol was not influenced. Since women in the fertile age group will suffer a higher risk of arteriosclerosis from an elevation of the beta-LP-cholesterin, the treatment with Danazol calls for a sophisticated monitoring of the lipid metabolism and care in the indication for long term treatment with Danazol or with Lynestrenol.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008074 Lipoproteins Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes. Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D003613 Danazol A synthetic steroid with antigonadotropic and anti-estrogenic activities that acts as an anterior pituitary suppressant by inhibiting the pituitary output of gonadotropins. It possesses some androgenic properties. Danazol has been used in the treatment of endometriosis and some benign breast disorders.
