Abstract:
Objectives: The study aimed to estimate serum cholesterol and triglycerides levels in women using combined oral contraceptives pills (COC). Methodology: 70 women aging 15-45 years (50 as test group, women using combined oral contraceptives pills (COC), and 20 women don’t use COC pills, as control group) were involved in this study. 3ml blood samples from both groups were collected into plan containers. Serum was separated by centrifugation then cholesterol and triglyceride levels were estimated by enzymatic colorimetric method. Data were analyzed statistically by SPSS program. Results: The average or the mean of serum cholesterol levels in control group is 111mg/dl, in the test group is 145 mg/dl, p-value 0.005. The average or mean of serum triglycerides levels in control group is 72 mg/dl, and in the test group is 101 mg/dl, p-value of 0.000. The statistical analysis reflected that there was a significant deference between the two means of both groups. Conclusion: The study concluded that the levels of serum cholesterol and triglycerides are affected by the administration of oral contraceptive pills in females of child bearing age, especially for a long period of time.
