title: [Value of thyroid function tests after long term hormone therapy].
abstract: Estrogens are known to change the level of specific circulating proteinthyroid binding globulin (TBG). In view of this, a study was conducted of the effect of some hormonal oral contraceptives on the thyroid function by using routine procedures: thyroid scintigraphy, protein bound iodine (PBI), determination of thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine. No statistically significant difference was found between the experimental (N = 84) and the control (N = 34) group.
