Popis | The aim of this study was to determine if hormonal contraceptives affect the new atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) = log[triglycerides (TG)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] together with the total cholesterol/HDL-C (TC/HDL-C) and the apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A1 (apoB/apoA1) ratios. The increased AIP and hs-CRP concentration after 9 months of hormonal contraception demonstrate that contraceptive-induced dyslipidemia has a proatherogenic nature, even when the TC/HDL-C and the apoB/apoA1 ratios are unchanged. |
