A longitudinal study on cortisol, prolactin and thyroid hormones in users of norplantR subdermal implants or a copper T device
Abstract
A longitudinal study was undertaken to assess PRL, cortisol, TSH, T3 and T4 levels in NORPLANT implant users (n = 22) and Copper T users (n = 20). Participants were healthy women with no contraindication for hormonal contraception. Samples were drawn at 0930 to 1000 h twice pretreatment and at month 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 and 36 after insertion. At the second treatment month, a second sample was obtained at 1600 h to assess cortisol diurnal variation. Hormones were measured by RIA. Values for all hormones were similar in Norplant and Copper T users. No significant changes occurred throughout the study period. Elevated PRL levels (greater than 500 mU/1) were found in three women from each group before and during treatment but no clinical evidence of hyperprolactinemia was detected. The results of this study reassure that long-term use of NORPLANT implants do not impair plasma levels of cortisol, prolactin and thyroid hormones.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
