The influence of a combined estrogen-progestin regimen (Climodien, Lafamme) on auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) was investigated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, comparative, randomized 3-arm trial phase (Climodien 2/3=estradi…

Differences in sleep and awakening quality between 51 insomniac postmenopausal syndrome patients and normal controls were evaluated. In a subsequent double-blind, placebo-controlled, comparative, randomized, three-arm trial (Climodien 2/3 =…

Androgen-progestin combinations are promising male contraceptive regimens. Optimization of these regimens includes the development of new progestins with more favorable biological properties. In this context we tested the effects of the pro…

UNLABELLED: In 18 healthy women, the effect of two oral contraceptives (OCs) on insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) and its binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and growth hormone (hGH) plasma level were studied before and after intake of either of t…

Dienogest is the first non-alkylated 19-norprogestin on the market. This so-called hybrid progestin combines the typical qualities of the modern 19-norprogestins with those of natural progesterone and synthetic hydroxyprogesterone derivativ…

The strong hepatic estrogenic actions of ethinylestradiol (EE) are very likely to be the cause of the cardiovascular morbidity related to the use of combined oral contraceptives (COCs). This survey presents results of EE replacement in COCs…

To determine a possible influence of two different hormonal contraceptives on bacterial microflora of gingival sulcus, subgingival plaque samples of 29 healthy women aged between 20 and 32 years were investigated bacteriologically before su…

Antiandrogens or progestins with an antiandrogenic component usually have only a weak antigonadotropic activity. It is thus possible that the antiandrogenic effect on the cellular level is cancelled or at least reduced by an increased ovari…
