  • Title: Metabolic changes caused by oral contraceptives.
    Journal: Fam Plann Inf Serv; 1978 Feb; 1(1):12-4. PubMed ID: 12308927.
    Abstract:
    Laboratory changes in the serum and plasma of women taking oral contraceptives (OCs), their cause if known, and their significance are reviewed in the form of a chart. The changes surveyed cover protein metabolism, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, and vitamin metabolism. It is noted that after cessation of OC use, protein changes require 3-8 weeks to return to normal, lipids 2-6 months, and carbohydrates 6-8 weeks.
