A Comparison of the Skeletal Effects of Goserelin and Danazol in Premenopausal Women with Endometriosis
Hormone research ·doi:10.1159/000181335

The skeletal effects of two therapies for endometriosis that produce hypo-oestrogenism in 23 premenopausal women have been studied. Eleven women received goserelin 3.6 mg monthly by subcutaneous implant and 12 women received danazol 600 mg …

Zoladex versus Danazol in the Treatment of Pelvic Endometriosis: Effects on Plasma Lipid Risk Factors
Hormone research ·doi:10.1159/000181334

Plasma lipid risk markers for coronary heart disease (CHD) are influenced by sex steroid concentrations. Therapies that alter sex hormone levels have the potential to affect CHD risk. Zoladex had no effect on plasma lipids, but increased hi…

Elevated serum lipoprotein(a) levels in young women with endometriosis
Metabolism: clinical and experimental ·doi:10.1016/s0026-0495(97)90115-3

Elevated serum lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels increase the risk of cardiovascular disease if levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) are also high. The biological function of Lp(a) is unknown, but plasma levels may be elevated in inflammat…

The impact of bone loss in women with endometriosis
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics ·doi:10.1016/0020-7292(95)02509-b

Low peak adult bone mass in a premenopausal woman puts her at increased risk for osteoporosis postmenopausally. Episodes of hypo-estrogenism premenopausally are associated with loss of bone density. This is seen with gonadotropin-releasing …

Danazol induces resistance to both insulin and glucagon in young women
Clinical science (London, England : 1979) ·doi:10.1042/cs0820211

1. Danazol elevates plasma insulin, plasma glucagon and serum low-density lipoprotein concentrations and reduces the serum high-density lipoprotein concentration. 2. Associations between these disturbances were studied in 17 women receiving…

article 1992
Lipoprotein Lp(a) levels are reduced by danazol, an anabolic steroid
Atherosclerosis ·doi:10.1016/0021-9150(92)90008-5

Serum levels of lipids, lipoproteins and apolipoproteins were measured in 26 premenopausal women with endometriosis both before and after six months therapy with the anabolic steroid danazol (600 mg/day) and in 15 untreated women who acted …

article 1991
Changes in body composition with danazol therapy
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(16)54561-0

Whole body lean and fat mass measurements by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry were performed in 14 premenopausal women undergoing danazol treatment for endometriosis. After 6 months, there was a significant increase in lean tissue mass. Bod…
