Serum lipid changes during contraceptive administration in obese women: relation to serum insulin levels.

Previous reports agree that estrogen and estrogen-containing contraceptives increase serum triglyceride levels of normal women, but disagree on their effect on serum cholesterol levels. Since obesity is often accompanied by hyperinsulinemia and since hyperinsulinemia may participate in production of hypertriglyceridemia, we investigated the effect of oral contraceptives on the serum lipids of obese women. Serum triglycerides and cholesterol were measured before and after 3 months administration of the contraceptives. The mean triglyceride level increased 23% in the obese and 21% in the normal women. The mean cholesterol level increased 6% (P less than 0.05) in the obese and did not change in the normal women. The increase in cholesterol occurred mostly in those with initial levels less than 225 mg/100 ml; in those with initial levels above 250 mg/100 ml the level usually decreased with treatment. The serum lipid changes were not related to the serum insulin levels.

Primary hyperparathyroidism. Laboratory and clinical data in 73 cases.

The serum calcium level measured in the research laboratory was 10.8 mg/100 ml or more in all of 73 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, though many of the values were normal when measured in the hospital laboratories. Postoperatively, all patients successfully operated on showed an immediate increase in renal phosphorus reabsorption to 95% to 100%, and a decrease, which averaged 54%, in urinary hydroxyproline levels. Seven patients who had hyperplasia had no clinical or laboratory features distinguishing them from those with adenomas. Uremia, an ominous sign, was found in six patients, five of whom died.
