Anti-oxidative enzymes, cardiovascular disease risk factors, and adipokines in Nigerian women on oral and implant contraceptives

Oral contraceptive use may be associated with weight gain while implant use may lead to derangement in carbohydrate, lipid metabolism and weight gain. This suggests the need for appropriate client profiling before recommending a contraceptive method, especially for those with pre-existing conditions.

This suggests the need for appropriate client profiling before recommending a contraceptive method, especially for those with pre-existing conditions.
