Lan PT, Aedo AR, Landgren BM, Johannisson E, Diczfalusy E: Return of ovulation following a single injection of depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate: a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study. Contraception. 1984 Jan;29(1):1-18.
The effect of a single dose of 150 mg of depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) on pituitary, ovarian and endometrial function was assessed in relation to the peripheral levels of the compound in 8 women. The levels of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), follitropin (FSH), lutropin (LH), prolactin, estradiol (E2) and progesterone ( Prog .) were measured 3 times a week during a pretreatment (control) cycle and then daily during postinjection weeks 14-17, 22-25 and 30-33. An endometrial biopsy specimen was obtained during postinjection weeks 17, 25 and 33. In three out of 8 subjects the daily hormone assays carried out during postinjection weeks 30-33 indicated anovulatory periods; in these subjects peripheral blood was drawn daily during postinjection weeks 46-49 and a fourth endometrial biopsy was taken during week 49. |
