Lynestrenol and Danazol treatment for endometriosis altered lipoprotein profiles, with Danazol inducing more atherogenic changes like elevated beta-LP-cholesterin.

This paper measured lipoprotein profiles in 24 patients with endometriosis before, during, and after steroid-hormone treatment with Lynestrenol (10 mg/day) or Danazol (600–800 mg/day). It assessed total cholesterol, triglycerides, and cholesterol bound to beta-, prebeta-, and alpha-lipoproteins. Both treatments markedly lowered alpha-LP cholesterol and increased beta-LP cholesterol, raising the beta–alpha-LP ratio; at the studied doses, Lynestrenol had less impact on the overall lipoprotein profile, whereas Danazol produced highly pathological beta- and alpha-lipoprotein changes without affecting total cholesterol. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it evaluates lipoprotein alterations during hormonal endometriosis treatment with Lynestrenol and Danazol.

Abstract

The Lipoprotein profile of 24 patients with endometriosis was determined before, during and after the treatment with the two steroid hormones Lynestrenol (10 mg/day) and Danazol (600-800 mg/day). The total cholesterol triglycerides, beta-, prebeta-, and Alphalipo -protein bound to cholesterol were determined. Both hormones cause a marked lowering of the Alpha-Lp-cholesterin. In addition, the beta-LP-cholesterin was elevated and the beta-alpha-LP-ratio was elevated. In the dosage used by us, Lynestrenol showed less effect on the Lipoprotein profile. Danazol caused changed in the beta- and alpha-lipoprotein pattern of highly pathological atherogenic types. The total cholesterol was not influenced. Since women in the fertile age group will suffer a higher risk of arteriosclerosis from an elevation of the beta-LP-cholesterin, the treatment with Danazol calls for a sophisticated monitoring of the lipid metabolism and care in the indication for long term treatment with Danazol or with Lynestrenol.

Tagung der Nordwestdeutschen Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe in Bad Pyrmont vom 29.4.-1.5. 1983 vorgetragenPublication History Publication Date: 19 March 2008 (online) Zusammenfassung Das Lipoproteinprofil von 24 Endometriosepatientinnen wurde vor, während und nach Behandlung mit den beiden Steroidhormonen Lynestrenol (10 mg/die) und Danazol (6 - 800 mg/die) bestimmt. Gemessen wurden das Gesamtcholesterin, die Triglyzeride, das Beta-, Präbetaund Alpha-Lipoprotein-gebundene Cholesterin. Beide Substanzen bewirken eine deutliche Erniedrigung des Alpha-LP-Cholesterins. Zusätzlich kommt es zu einer Erhöhung des Beta-LP-Cholesterins und damit auch zu einer Erhöhung des Beta-Alpha-LP-Quotienten. In der von uns angewandten Dosierung zeigt Lynestrenol deutlich geringere Wirkungen auf das Lipoproteinprofil, während Danazol regelmäßig i. S. der Atherogenität hochpathologische Beta- und Alpha-Lipoproteinveränderungen hervorruft, die keinen Ausdruck in einer Beeinflussung des Gesamtcholesterins finden. Da gerade für Frauen im fertilen Alter eine Erhöhung des Beta-LP-Cholesterins mit einer vermehrten Atherosklerosegefährdung einhergeht, ist im besonderen unter Behandlung mit Danazol eine differenzierte Überwachung des Fettstoffwechsels angezeigt und eine entsprechend differenzierte Indikation zur längerfristigen Gabe von Danazol und auch von Gestagenen wie Lynestrenol ratsam.
