LPD AND CARBOHYDRATE METABOLC STUDES AF'ER ONE YEAR OF MEGESTROL ACETATE TREATMENT* WLLAM N. SPELLACY, M.D., ROGER E. NEWTON, M.D.,t WLLAM C. BUH, M.S., AND SHARON A. BRK, B.S., R.N. Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, Florida 32610, and The Mead Johnson Research Center, Evansville, ndiana Few studies have concerned themselves with the metabolic effects of individual contraceptive steroids. 1 Such data are critical for a complete understanding of the secondary effects of oral contraceptives. The present investigation is an extension of previous work 2 with oral megestrol acetate (MA) (0.5 mg, provided by the Mead Johnson Research Center, Evansville, nd.). The lipid and carbohydrate metabolic parameters were investigated prospectively during 1 year of therapy. An oral glucose tolerance test was used as the stimulus. MATERALS AND METHbDS Twenty-two women participated in the study. All of the subjects were informed about the study and consented to participate. The protocol has been described previously. 2 Briefly, all subjects were investigated before steroid therapy was begun. Each subject was tested with a 3-hour, 100-gm oral glucose tolerance test in a fasting-resting state. They were then instructed to take the MA daily for contraception. Each woman was seen regularly to replace medication, to answer questions, and to be examined physically. Received July 3, *Supported in part by a grant from the Mead Johnson Research Center, Evansville, nd.; Ford Foundation Grant ; National nstitutes of Health Grant HL-14141; and Grant M69.87 from The Population Council of New York. tmead Johnson Research Center, Evansville, nd. 157 After 1 year of continuous daily oral steroid treatment, each subject was brought back to the research laboratory in a fasting state, and an identical repeat tolerance test was performed. Thus each woman served as her own control for the pre- and postdrug treatment tests. During the test, venous blood samples were obtained at the fasting and 0.5-, 1-, 2-, and 3-hour time periods. The paired blood samples from the two tests were later analyzed in duplicate for cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, insulin, and growth hormone content by the methods previously described. 2-4 Since these were paired data, all of the information was placed on punch cards and analyzed with the aid of a computer for means, standard errors, differences, means of the differences, and Student's t-test values. The probabilities were calculated from two-tailed tables, and only values of less than 0.05 were considered significant. The women under study were characteristic of a family-planning population. The mean age was 24.6 years (± 1.1 SEM) and the mean parity was 2.7 (± 0.4 SEM). The mean control weight was pounds(± 6.2 SEM) and the mean 1-year weight was pounds (± 7.1 SEM), which were not significantly different (mean difference, 5.6 pounds; t= ). No significant complications were encountered during treatment or testing.

The results of the fasting triglyceride studies are also shown in Table 1, and again the change between the two tests was not significant. Glucose. The data from the two glucose tolerance tests are analyzed in Table 2 and the mean values are plotted in Figure 1. The fasting values were unchanged.

This is in marked contrast to the data obtained after only 6 months of treatment. 2 Growth Hormone.

Detailed analyses of both lipid and carbohydrate metabolism were made in the same group of women. n the present investigation no significant alterations in fasting cholesterol or triglyceride levels were detected. This is in keeping with the data reported after 6 months of study and the fact that most of the previously 120 e 100 ;;;- "'- 80., = :!!!: :., :E ,...a, o',..,..

Mean values for plasma insulin before and after 1 year's treatment of women with a daily, oral, 0.5-mg dose of megestrol acetate W = 22). reported studies associated t:p.e lipid alterations regularly with the estrogenic steroids. 1 The current data do show that certain parameters of carbohydrate metabolism are altered after 1 year of treatment. Although the blood glucose curves were only minimally affected, the plasma insulin levels, as measured by a radioimmunoassay technique, were significantly elevated after treatment. Since the fasting growth hormone levels and patient weights were not altered, it is unlikely that these ere involved in the mechanism of change. t would appear that MA increased peripheral insulin resistance and therefore more pancreatic f3-cell insulin was being released in order to maintain glucose homeostasis. These findings are in slight contrast to those reported after only 6 months of treatment, for at that time only minimal changes were noted in the glucose and insulin curves. 2 Other investigators have also studied the metabolic effects of MA. Pyorala and co-workers 5 administered 1 mg ofma plus 0.1 mg of ethinyl estradiol to six women for 5 days and noted no significant changes in the blood glucose values during an intravenous glucose tolerance test. Starup and associates 6 gave 5.0 mg ofma plus 0.1 mg of mestranol to 27 women for 1 year. They also noted no change in either the blood glucose or plasma insulin curves during an intravenous glucose tolerance test. Adams and Wynn 7 treated 31 women for 5.6 months (range, 3 to 18 months) with 0.5 mg of MA and did not
4 160 SPELLACY ET AL. February 1976 find any change in the glucose, insulin, pyruvate, cholesterol, or triglyceride levels during oral and intravenous glucose tolerance tests. Vermeulen et al.,8 however, administered 4.0 mg ofma plus 0.05 mg of ethinyl estradiol daily to 15 women for 12 to 16 months and conducted paired intravenous glucose tolerance tests. They noted an elevation of insulin levels at the fasting and 30- to 90-minute periods, while the glucose values were unchanged. The importance of these findings relates to four areas. First, this study points out the necessity for a long-term investigation, since the results appear to change with time. This should reaffirm the caution that must be exercised in comparing the literature, since grouping short-term (weeks) and long-term (years) study results is probably not valid. t is not surprising from other studies in the field of clinical pharmacology that the duration of treatment may have an effect on the results, as does drug type and dosage. Second, extrapolation of the results of investigations in which individual steroids were used to those in which combinations of steroids were used may not be possible. Both cumulative and synergistic effects are probable. Third, the basic mechanisms involved in contraceptive steroid-induced metabolic changes are still not understood. Whereas growth hormone and vitamin B 6 metabolism were once implicated, the results are now uncertain. 1 9 At one time the elevations in blood pyruvate levels accompanying oral treatment were suggested to represent a cortisol-like effect on the liver10; however, more recent data suggest that altered pyruvate levels could be related to a vitamin deficiency (B 1). 11 Thus, considerably more study of the mechanism of change is needed. Finally, the earlier studies implied that, principally, the 19- nor progestogens were involved in the carbohydrate changes. The present data suggest that all of the progestogens might be involved in the carbohydrate changes. The present data also imply that all of the progestogens must be carefully evaluated with regard to their effects on metabolism. SUMMARY A prospective study of lipid and carbohydrate metabolic parameters was made in 22 women who had taken a daily oral dose of 0.5 mg of megestrol acetate for contraception for 1 year. Studies of the fasting blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels demonstrated no significant change. A 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test was performed before and after 1 year of treatment. After therapy, the fasting blood glucose levels were normal but the 0.5- and 2-hour levels were elevated. All but one of the plasma insulin levels were elevated at the 1-year test. Since body weights and the fasting levels of plasma growth hormone were unchanged, they were probably not involved in the carbohydrate alteration. These results point out the need for long-term studies and the necessity for investigating the metabolic effects of all progestogen contraceptives. Acknowledgments. The authors thank Ms. S.
