Abstract
: In a male anti-fertility study 7 volunteers received the anti-androgen cyproterone acetate (5 or 10 mg daily) orally in a paired study. A significant reduction in serum-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol, and a significant increase in the intravenous-fat-tolerance-test (IVFTT) was observed. Thus low doses of cyproterone acetate reduced the serum testosterone concentration and some of the atherosclerotic risk factors.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
