research Studies of the components of an oral contraceptive agent in albino rats. I. Estrogenic component
In this study from 1980, albino rats were fed ethynylestradiol at doses 10 to 100 times higher than the human dose used in oral contraceptives for 2 years. The treatment resulted in dose-related estrogenic effects such as growth retardation, alopecia, liver enlargement, and increased survival rates. Female rats experienced uterine changes and gonadal atrophy, while males showed gonadal atrophy and an increased incidence of mammary tumors. Both sexes at higher doses developed liver neoplastic nodules and pituitary adenomas, but overall tumor incidence did not increase compared to controls. Interestingly, treated females showed a delayed onset and reduced potential for tumor development compared to control females.
research Studies of the components of an oral contraceptive agent in albino rats. II. Progestogenic component and comparison of effects of the components and the combined agent
In a study conducted on albino rats over 2 years, norethindrone acetate, a progestogenic component of oral contraceptives, was administered at doses 10 to 100 times higher than the human equivalent. The study found dose-related effects such as growth retardation, alopecia, and enhanced survival rates. Male rats experienced testicular and gonadal atrophy, while females showed uterine changes, increased adrenal gland weights, decreased ovarian weights, and ovarian atrophy. High doses led to liver enlargement and cystic mastopathy in both sexes, with females developing more uterine polyps and both sexes showing increased liver neoplastic nodules. Despite these changes, there were no significant differences in tumor incidence or development compared to untreated rats, and females exhibited a delayed onset of tumor formation.
