Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the effect of melengestrol acetate (MGA) implants on reproductive function and various biochemical parameters, ovarian activity, and uterine morphology in ten female common marmosets implanted for either 6–8 or 19–21 months. Measures of body weight, concentrations of urinary glucose and blood liver enzymes were taken. Ovarian activity was assessed by analysis of urinary progestin levels and ultrasound examinations of the ovaries. Ultrasonography was also used to evaluate uterine morphology. MGA was highly effective in preventing pregnancies in the study animals. No changes in biochemical parameters were found; however, seven females developed a substantial weight gain during the study. Follicular development was not suppressed, as indicated by the presence of antral follicles, luteinized structures, and elevated urinary progestin levels. The uteri of the MGA‐treated subjects were moderately enlarged with a thickened endometrium that showed a marked change in structural appearance indicative of hypertrophy and decidualization. After implant removal these changes quickly disappeared and all females ovulated within 3 weeks and conceived within 4 months post‐treatment. MGA appears to be an acceptable contraceptive in the marmoset, although non‐steroidal methods should be evaluated as possible potential alternatives.

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.
