Effects of the progestagen-only contraceptive implant Implanon on cardiovascular risk factors.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Growth hormone release in response to all known stimuli of GH secretion is blunted in obese subjects. Several studies, using d,l-fenfluramine (d,l-FF) as a serotoninergic tool, suggest that brain serotonin plays a role in the pathogenesis of this phenomenon. However, the effect of d,l-FF appears to be depende...
