چکیده
Plasma concentrations of ethynyl oestradiol and norethindrone in women were measured by radioimmunoassays after oral administration of 50 microng and 1000 microng respectively. The maximum values were obtained 1 h after administration. The calculated half-life was 6 1/2 h for ethynyl oestradiol and 7 h for norethindrone. At most 2-3% of the administered dose was present in the plasma at 1 h and had decreased to about 0-5% by 24 h.

Comparison between 1 year oral and transdermal oestradiol and sequential norethisterone acetate on circulating concentrations of leptin in postmenopausal women.
BACKGROUND Oral and transdermal postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) affects lipid and glucose metabolism differently, which is of significance in the release of leptin by adipocytes. Moreover, oestrogen and progesterone can stimulate leptin secretion in women of reproductive age. Therefore, we compared the effects of oral and transdermal oestrogen plus progestin regimen on plasma l...
متن کاملNo increase in C-reactive protein levels during intranasal compared to oral hormone therapy in healthy post-menopausal women.
BACKGROUND Inflammation plays an important role in the development of atherosclerotic disease. Oral post-menopausal hormone therapy increases serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. This study compared the effects of intranasal and oral administration of 17beta-estradiol (E2) combined with norethisterone acetate (NETA) on markers of inflammation in healthy post-menopausal women. METHODS Ninety...

OBJECTIVES To study the consequence of skin contamination by oestradiol gel on circulating plasma oestradiol levels. METHODS We studied ten healthy, hysterectomized postmenopausal women who had used percutaneous oestradiol gel for at least 2 years. After wash-out period percutaneous dose of 1.5 mg 17beta-oestradiol was administered once a day in the evening. The gel was applied with a bare or...
