title: Endocrine and metabolic indices during progestin (quingestanol) therapy.
abstract: Quingestanol at 300 y/day was well tolerated during 1 to 12 months of therapy of pre-menopausal and menopausal women with minimal changes, if any, in  a battery of routine endocrine and metabolic indices. Serum inorganic phosphorus levels were slightly above the pre-therapy range but still within normal limits during the 12 months of treatment and the mean relative blood volume or hematocrit during the latter 6 months was slightly above the starting value.
