Electrophoretic study of serum proteins in women using oral contraceptive

ABSTRACT

Effect of short and long term use of oral contraceptives on serum proteins has been studied. Serum total protein showed a significant rise in all the subjects. Serum albumin was found to increase initially globulin followed by a decrease, on the contrary serum showed a progressive increase in general. The aplha1, aplha2, and gamma-globulin fractions showed no significant variation, although increased slightly with duration of the use of oral contraceptive. Beta-globulin fraction showed a significant progressive rise
