title: [Effects of low-dose oral contraceptives on sugar metabolism].
abstract: The effects on carbohydrate metabolism by four low-dose oral contraceptives were evaluated in four low-dose oral contraceptives were evaluated-66 young women randomly divided in four groups. In the various preparations there were a different dosage of estrogen (ethinylestradiol) together different doses and types of progestogen (desogestrel, gestodene, cyproterone acetate). After six months of treatment, in all groups a slight increase of glycemic and insulinemic responses during OGTT was observed; the significance was achieved with the preparation containing cyproterone acetate alone. Glycated hemoglobin did not change. Our results suggest that these new low-dose oral contraceptives induced negligible metabolic side effects.
