Title: Effects of progestational agents on serum lipids and lipoproteins

Journal Article · · J. Reprod. Med.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5335462

Though progestins with relatively strong androgenic or antiestrogenic effects (e.g., levonorgestrel and norethindrone acetate) tend to have the greatest capacity to offset the major estrogen effects (e.g., on serum triglyceride and, to a greater extent, HDL-cholesterol), this association is not sufficiently strong to allow prediction of the effects of other progestins on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism.
