Study of plasma renin activity in Indian women using low estrogen combination pill as contraceptive [abstract].

Comgination oral contraceptives (OCs) containing ethinyl estradiol 0.05 mg and norethisterone 1 mg is known to cause various metabolic changes and hypertension is 1 of them. Both plasma renin activity (PRA) and angiotensin are considerably increased during pregnancy and these changes are attributed to estrogen induced changes in renin substrate. Recently OCs containing less amount of estrogen are in use and this study reports PRA levels in Indian women taking pills containing 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol and 1 mg norethistrone. PRA was estimated by radioimmunoassay method in a matched control group and compared with those taking OCs for different durations. Analysis of the data revealed that the mean values for PRA in those taking the low estrogen OC pills were significantly higher than the control group of women not taking the OC.

Seminal fructose, citric acid and phosphatase levels and their relation to the sperm count in man.

Seminal fructose, citric acid and phosphatase levels were estimated in 60 normal adults and compared with 60 oligospermic and 24 azoospermic Indian subjects. In normal group, the seminal plasma fructose level and acid phosphatase activity showed a fall as the sperm count increased. As compared to normals, significantly higher mean values for fructose and acid phosphatase activity were observed in oligospermic and azoospermic groups. Seminal alkaline phosphatase activity did not show any relationship with sperm count. Similarity in changes observed in seminal fructose and acid phosphatase levels with respect to seminal citric acid content and sperm concentration suggests that both these parameters are probably regulated by similar physiological mechanism.
