INFLUENCE OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS ON PHARMACOKINETICS OF CONTRACEPTIVE PROGESTOGENS |
|
| Abstract: | Malnutrition enhances the metabolic clearance of oral progestogens in women and experimental rabbits. This appears to be due to increased drug metabolizing enzyme activities and uterine-progesterone-receptor concentration. |
| Keywords: | contraceptive progestogens pharmacokinetics in women rabbits body weight effect microsomal drug metabolizing enzymes progesterone receptors |
