[Changes in the serum triglyceride levels following treatment with ovulation inhibitors in tall girls].
The chronological course of serum triglycerides was determined in 12 girls aged 9--10 years, who have been cyclically treated with mestranol (80 microgram/d) and chlormadinonacetate during 3 1/2 years on average, because of constitutional tall stature. A significant increase of the triglycerides level from 80 to 130 mg/100 ml (0.91 to 1.49 mmol/l) could be noted, followed by normalisation within 6 months. Mechanism and metabolic risk of the reversible increase of serum triglycerides are discussed.
