description: Endometriosis has been reported to be associated with metabolism-related diseases, such as hypercholesterolemia and diabetes, while no studies have reported the association between endometriosis and metabolic syndrome. This study aims to explore the association between endometriosis and metabolic syndrome. Also, the association between endometriosis and single metabolic syndrome indicator was explored. This was a cross-sectional study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). A total of 2389 participants were finally included for analysis, with 2212 in the non-endometriosis group and 177 in the endometriosis group. Association between endometriosis and metabolic syndrome was explored using multivariate logistic regression analysis, with results shown as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Association between endometriosis and single metabolic syndrome indicator was explored using multivariate liner regression analysis. After adjusting age, race, education level, family poverty to income ratio (PIR), smoking, age at menarche, gravidity, menopause, female hormones use, and dyslipidemia drug use, endometriosis was associated with the higher odds of metabolic syndrome (OR = 1.55, 95%CI: 1.01–2.35). Further adjusting hysterectomy or oophorectomy, we found the similar association despite no statistical significance (OR = 1.47, 95%CI: 0.96–2.25). Moreover, we found endometriosis was associated with the high level of triglyceride (TG) (β = 0.38, 95%CI: 0.06–0.70). Our study found the association between endometriosis and metabolic conditions, indicating that metabolic conditions of endometriosis women should be focused, and monitoring the blood lipid levels may be significant in decreasing the risk of metabolic syndrome.

description: To determine whether blastocyst quality affects the sex ratio at birth through a single blastocyst frozen - thawed embryo transfer (SBFET) cycle. In this retrospective analysis, we examined 3,041 singleton infants born following SBFET between 2017 and 2020 at a single institution. We compared the sex ratios of these infants with respect to the blastocyst quality, embryo growth rate, and morphology. The main outcomes of this study were that the sex ratio (M/F) at birth of SBFET was 1.24. Mothers >40 years old had a considerably lower sex ratio than mothers <40 years old (0.39 vs. 1.23–1.28, p < .05). Transplanting high-quality blastocysts significantly increased the proportion of boys born (1.29 vs. 0.88, p < .05). There were no significant differences in the sex ratio with respect to the inner cell mass (ICM) score and expansion degree. Additionally, a high trophoblastic cell (TE) score resulted in a significantly higher sex ratio than the TE score with C (1.62 vs. 1.15 vs. 0.85, p < .001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine which variables were significant factors affecting sex ratio, and the outcomes were consistent with previous findings. Our study indicated that high-quality, especially good TE score, had a higher chance of resulting in a male infant than a female infant.

description: Diabetes mellitus increases oxidative stress and formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) both of which underlie vascular complications by interfering with angiogenesis required for wound-healing. Momordica charantia (MC) prevents AGE formation and promotes diabetic wound-healing in animals. This study investigates the effects of MC pulp (MCP), flesh (MCF) and charantin using an in vitro model of angiogenesis. Cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells were exposed to bovine serum albumin (BSA)-derived AGEs. MC extracts increased cell proliferation, migration (using wound-healing assay) and tube formation (using Matrigel™-embedded 3D culture) in a dose-dependent manner, and these effects were associated with increases p-ERK1/2 signaling. These effects were inhibited by MCP, MCF and charantin extracts. Blocking the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) inhibited the MC extract-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation and tube formation, indicating the crucial role of RAGE in MC pro-angiogenic effects. In conclusion, MC extracts and charantin exert direct pro-angiogenic effects mediated through RAGE with inhibitory activity on anti-angiogenic effects of BSA-AGEs. Further studies are needed to understand the therapeutic potential of MC extracts in diabetic wound-healing.

description: Among post-translational modifications, non-enzymatic glycation is of particular relevance, since it plays a pivotal role in the development of long-term diabetic complications. Beside continuous advances in treatment of those deleterious effects, aspirin was shown to prevent proteins from excessive glycation but the extent of the interplay between aspirin-induced acetylation and the level of glycation in the different blood compartments, was poorly investigated. Whole blood from healthy controls was separated into plasma, erythrocyte, leukocyte and platelet fractions. Proteins from each fraction were incubated with 30mM glucose for 24 h and 500 µM aspirin for 30 min. A middle-down proteomic approach coupled with label-free quantitation was then performed to provide qualitative data through the detection of preferential protein glycation sites as well as quantitative information to determine the influence of aspirin acetylation on glycation process. These experiments showed that aspirin reduces protein glycation in all the blood compartments including most of the major plasma proteins, different haemoglobin subunits and proteins involved in platelet activation and inflammation. These results provide further insights on the mechanism with which aspirin may alleviate the consequences of prolonged hyperglycaemia.

description: In the 24-week, phase 3 LIBERTY 1 (L1) and LIBERTY 2 (L2) trials, relugolix combination therapy (relugolix-CT (relugolix 40 mg, estradiol 1 mg, norethisterone acetate 0.5 mg)) reduced uterine fibroid (UF)-associated symptoms. This post hoc analysis assessed safety and efficacy of relugolix-CT in European women from L1/L2. Premenopausal women (aged 18–50 years) with UF-associated heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) were randomized 1:1:1 in L1 (N = 388) and L2 (N = 382) to relugolix-CT or placebo for 24 weeks, or delayed relugolix-CT (relugolix 40 mg then relugolix-CT; 12 weeks each). Primary endpoint: proportion of responders (menstrual blood loss (MBL) <80 mL and reduction of ≥50% from baseline MBL volume) over the last 35 days of treatment. Secondary endpoints: MBL volume, amenorrhea, UF-associated pain, symptom severity, distress related to bleeding and pelvic discomfort, health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Safety endpoints included adverse event (AE) reporting and bone mineral density (BMD) assessment. In European women from L1/L2 (N = 124, 16%), a significantly greater proportion of treatment responders was observed with relugolix-CT vs. placebo (85.4% vs. 19.1%, respectively; nominal p < .0001). There were statistically significant improvements with relugolix-CT vs. placebo for several secondary endpoints: reduction in MBL volume, amenorrhea rate, proportion achieving mild-to-no pain, reduction in symptom severity and distress from bleeding and pelvic discomfort, and improvement in HRQoL. Incidence of AEs and percentage changes in BMD from baseline to week 24 were similar for relugolix-CT and placebo. In European women with UF and HMB, once-daily relugolix-CT vs. placebo improved UF-associated symptoms and preserved BMD.

description: GuizhiFulingWan (GFW) has been reported to be effective against polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) by possessing oxidative stress and inflammation which related to PI3K/AKT/NF-κB, Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. This study aims to probe the effects and mechanisms of GFW combined with rosiglitazone on PCOS via PI3K/AKT/NF-κB and Nrf2/HO-1 pathways. A rat PCOS model established by dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) injection. The experiment was allocated to control, DHEA, GFW, rosiglitazone, GFW + rosiglitazone groups. Treatment for 30 days, we monitored weight and ovarian weight of rats. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), lipid metabolism indexes, estrous cycle and sex hormone-, inflammation-, oxidative stress-related factors were examined. Hematoxylin&eosin staining assessed ovarian tissue pathological changes. Western blot determined PI3K/AKT/NF-κB, Nrf2/HO-1 pathways-related markers. GFW and rosiglitazone treatment suppressed body weight and ovarian weight in PCOS rats. They also decreased FBG, FINS, HOMA-IR while inhibited total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and enhanced high-density lipoprotein (HDL). They ameliorated estrous cycle, ovarian histological changes and follicular development. They restrained testosterone (T), luteinizing hormone (LH) and accelerated estradiol (E2), progesterone (P), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). They inhibited glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) in serum while increased GSH-Px, SOD and decrease MDA in ovarian tissues. They reduced C-reactive protein, interleukin-18 (IL-18), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-6, IL-1β levels. GFW and rosiglitazone co-intervention regulated PI3K/AKT/NF-κB and Nrf2/HO-1 pathways in PCOS rats. GFW alleviated ovarian dysfunction in PCOS rats, which may be related to the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB, Nrf2/HO-1 pathways.

description: Dietary MRPS represent a diverse class of molecules, and their impact on human health is a matter of debate. A prerequisite for a physiological effect from dietary MRPs is that they are transported across the intestinal barrier. The objective of this study was to demonstrate a possible mechanism for MRPs transport in a human intestinal cell line (Caco-2). To produce the MRPs, a tripeptide Lys-Pro-Hyp was synthesized and non-enzymatically glycated with glucose. MRPs [Amadori peptide (m/z 519.6) and Nε-fructosyllysine (m/z 309.5)] were characterized by mass spectrometry. Radiolabeled 3H peptide and 14C MRPs were used to demonstrate the trans-epithelial transport. MRPs showed a 2.5-fold greater transport rate compared to the control peptide (Fig.1). Different receptor inhibitors were used to demonstrate a possible trans-epithelial route for MRPs. The inhibition of glucose transporter receptor (GLUT) significantly (p < 0.001) decreased the transport rate of MRPs. Peptide transporter PEPT-1 inhibition showed a significant (p < 0.001) decrease in MRP transport rate, while SGLT inhibition did not show any significant change. GLUT receptors likely play an important role in trans-epithelial transport of MRPs in the Caco-2 cell system.

Diagnostic notes.
Diagnostic for Heteracris adspersa within its genus is a rounded subgenital plate with two tubercles in males, a yellow-brown or light green side of the head, a distinctive yellowish stripe behind the eyes and reddish distal halves of the hind tibiae. Markings on the external side of the hind femora are always rather extensive and reach the middle line (Figs 36, 38).
Distribution and occurrence.
H. adspersa is distributed along the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts of North Africa, southern Europe and Arabia east to India (Grunshaw 1991). On Socotra, the species seems to be rare, restricted to Shuab and Neet in the west (Fig. 37).
Habitat and biology.
The habitat is strictly coastal, from 0–8 m a. s. l. The species can be abundant in Arthrocnemum macrostachyum and Aerva javanica at Neet, as observed in 2010. Popov (in Uvarov and Popov (1957)) observed some specimens of unknown identification, but probably belonging to this species, at the same site (Ghublet Nait). Records are from March, June and October.

description: Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at summarizing the evidence concerning circulating asprosin, and related endocrine and metabolites in women with and without the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Method: We performed a comprehensive literature search in Pubmed, Web of Science, Scielo, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure for studies published until May 20, 2022, that evaluated circulating asprosin levels in women with and without PCOS, regardless of language. The quality of studies was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Random-effects models were used to estimate mean differences (MD) or standardized MD (SMD) and their 95% confidence interval (CI).Results: We evaluated eight studies reporting 1,050 PCOS cases and 796 controls of reproductive age. Participants with PCOS were younger (MD = −2.40 years, 95% CI −2.46 to −2.33), with higher values of asprosin (SMD = 2.57, 95% CI 1.64–3.50), insulin (SMD = 2.73, 95% CI 1.18–4.28), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (SMD = 2.70, 95% CI 0.85–4.55), luteinizing hormone (SMD = 2.33, 95% CI 0.60–4.06), total testosterone (SMD = 4.06, 95% CI 1.89–6.22), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (SMD = 2.38, 95% CI 0.37–4.40), and triglycerides (SMD = 1.20, 95% CI 0.13 to 2.27). Moreover, PCOS women had lower circulating levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SMD = −3.36, 95% CI −4.92 to −1.80), and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (SMD = −0.85, 95% CI −1.69 to −0.01); with no significant differences observed for glucose, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels.Conclusion: Circulating asprosin levels were significantly higher in women with PCOS as compared to those without the syndrome.

Fig. 39
References for Socotra.
Grunshaw 1991: 39.
Diagnostic notes.
Heteracris annulosa has a broadly rounded male subgenital plate without an attenuated арех. The general colouration is variable and the tegmina have large brown spots merging into transverse bands. Hind wings are colourless. The internal surface of the hind femora is always with median and distal blасk spots. Spots on the external surface are variable, generally median and distal spots, sometimes absent. If present, spots on the median external area are always restricted to the upper half of this area, never extending to the median line, like in H. adspersa.
Distribution and occurrence.
It is widespread in North Africa, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Central Asia and Arabia (Grunshaw 1991). In the Socotra Archipelago, it has only been found once on Abd el Kuri by Kenneth Guichard (Fig. 39) (Guichard 1967; Grunshaw 1991). He collected six specimens on 7 May 1967, labelled with the locality J. Saleh. According to his travel notes, he went up Jebel Saleh on its north-western slope that date and collected some Scintharista notabilis (Walker, 1870) there (Guichard 1967). The material is probably in the NHMUK, but we did not find it.
Habitat and biology.
The habitat of H. annulosa on the slopes of Jebel Saleh, Abd el Kuri, is probably formed by dry, stony soils with scattered bushes and Euphorbia abdelkuri (Fig. 87).

description: Scrutinizing, among potential providers and users, the perceived claim and interest for over the counter (OTC) accessibility of a progestogen-only pill (POP). Cross-sectional, descriptive study based on an online survey of 1000 women and 100 pharmacists in Italy, part of a larger sample including Germany and Spain. Hormonal contraceptive methods are used by 35%; 5% of women reported currently not using contraception, 40% using a barrier method, and 20% a method considered less effective than male condoms (including 16% withdrawal and 4% natural methods and fertility/contraceptive applications). Almost 80% of women felt knowledgeable about the different contraceptive method, but about 1/3 had experienced difficulty accessing their oral contraceptive (OC) in the past two years. Women reacted positively to the proposition of an OTC-POP and 85% agreed that they would discuss the decision to buy it with their doctor; 75% reported they would continue to see their doctor for other reproductive health issues, including screening. The most frequent barrier is cost (reported by 25–33% of women) followed by long waiting times for doctor appointments and lack of personal time to schedule an appointment. Pharmacists (66%) would be likely/fairly likely to recommend the POP after appropriate training, agreeing that the benefits of an OTC-POP included improved access for women, saving them time and giving them more independence. Potential users of contraception in Italy have a positive attitude toward OTC-POP, with doctors continuing to have a relevant role. Following training, pharmacists are also positive.

Diagnostic notes.
Males of this Heteracris species can be identified by their uniform colours and the absence of clear external markings (Fig. 41). They are brown with yellow or yellow-green stripes on the sides of the pronotum and folded tegmina. The external median area of the hind femora is brown, without extensive dark spots or bands, while the inner side is marked with a basal, median and distal black band. Females are less uniformly coloured (Fig. 40).
Distribution and occurrence.
Heteracris coerulescens occurs in north-eastern Africa, south into Tanzania and locally in Yemen. On Socotra, it has only been found on three sites on three occasions (Fig. 42). The first record is from Homhil, collected by Ogilvie-Grant in 1899 and labelled by Burr as Cataloipus oberthuri (Burr 1903; Uvarov 1921). The second record is from Hadiboh Plain in 1967, by Guichard. The third is from Wadi Di Farhoh in 2024. Records are from February, April and May.
Habitat and biology.
The habitat of H. coerulescens on Socotra is unknown because the precise collecting sites are unknown. The specimen collected on 2 May 1967 by Guichard has been collected on or near the same site as where he found Ochrilidia gracilis, according to his diary, “ a tufted grass habitat ” at the foot of Ras Hazira M …. [= Moukaradia Pass], south of Rooget Hill, near Hadiboh ” (Guichard 1967).
In April, Guichard collected other specimens elsewhere on Hadiboh Plain when he went “ into the foothills ”, crossing the plain from his base camp at Sheq (Guichard 1967). On Socotra, it has probably been found between 50–400 m a. s. l. In other parts of its distribution area, like Kenya and Tanzania, it is common in all kinds of bush- and savannah woodlands (Rowell and Hemp 2017; Hemp in litt. 2024).

description: Glucosamine is an amino sugar capable of non-enzymatic browning reactions at temperatures normally considered mild as compared to the standard browning processes. Glucosamine caramel solutions can be produced under mild temperature conditions to generate flavour compounds like fructosazine (FR) and deoxyfructosazine (DOFR). This study produced FR and DOFR at mild temperatures from GlcN to evaluate their antimicrobial activities. Glucosamine browning was conducted at 50°C for 48 h, and FR and DOFR were quantified and purified through liquid chromatography, and then their antimicrobial activity was determined against Escherichia coli (E. coli) AW 1.7 with the minimum inhibitory concentration assay (MIC50) at pHs 5 and 7. The mechanism of action for FR and DOFR was evaluated based on the integrity of E. coli’s outer membrane using the N-phenyl-1-napthylamine (NPN) uptake assay. FR but not DOFR possess a MIC50 of 3.3 g/L at pH 5. At pH 7 no MIC50 was reached for both FR and DOFR. This is due the permeabilization of E. coli’s outer membrane, which was the greatest at pH 5 (p < 0.01). Results suggest that FR has both flavour and antimicrobial activity.

description: Black radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. niger) has been used as a natural drug for the amelioration of bile related dysfunction (Castro-Torres et al., 2014). Black radish root contains a variety of glucosinolates, which convert into isothiocynates by myrosinase, followed by removal of toxic byproducts (Lugasi et al., 2005). The potential role of black radish on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver injury remains to be further studied in rats. Black radish significantly decreased malondialdehyde concentrations and increased the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) compared to those of vehicle treatment after CCl4 intoxication (P < 0.05). Histopathology and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 immunohistochemical analysis were matched with biochemical data. Collectively, we postulate that black radish juice is a cruciferous vegetable containing radical scavenging components.

description: Maillard reactions are a major cause of flavor deterioration in many foods including lactose-free (LF) UHT processed milk during storage. Plant polyphenols inhibit the accumulation of Maillard reaction products by trapping reactive carbonyls. The objective of this study was to investigate if Michael addition reactions between amines and quinones, the oxidized form of polyphenols, also inhibit the formation of Maillard reaction products. Kinetic analysis showed that 4-methylbenzoquinone (model compound for quinones derived from green tea catechins) reacted with thiols with apparent second-order rate constants that were > 105 fold higher than for reactions with amines. a-Lactalbumin reacted faster than simple amine compounds. We suggest that reactions between amines and quinones are kinetically unfavorable in thiol-containing food systems, but may be significant processes in thiol-depleted systems, such as UHT milks. Addition of green tea polyphenols to LF UHT milk reduced Strecker aldehydes by ca. 95% during storage at 40°C for 40 days; no pronounced effect was observed of furosine. The high concentration of amines in milk makes it most likely that the reaction of amines with quinones and reactive carbonyls will run in parallel, and that the carbonyl trapping ability of polyphenols are responsible for inhibition of Strecker aldehydes.

Universal Self-Reflection Theory: The Universe as a Self-Observing, Self-Refining System Through the Mirror Test Analogy
Creators: name: Sambey, Stanley Everett
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2005

description: This paper presents the Universal Self-Reflection Theory (USRT), a unifiedframework positing reality as a self-observing, self-refining system. Integrating Har-monic Refinement Theory (HRT), Unified Wave Integration Theory (UWIT), andCyclic Refinement Theory (CRT), USRT asserts that all probable reality emergesfrom chaos, refined into cohesion through iterative cycles of observation and chal-lenge. Chaos tests and establishes laws—light, sound, gravity—culminating in aLogical Wave that bottlenecks data into “total reality” across quantum, biologi-cal, and cosmic scales. This process, articulated through empirical measurements,endures as a firm logic statement, persisting as long as chaos challenges it. Re-leased for digestion, review, challenge, and propagation, USRT unifies the “how”and “why” of existence without claiming creation, offering a testable explanationof reality’s self-aware evolution.

References for Socotra.
Popov (in Uvarov and Popov (1957)): 380–382, figs 27–32; Wranik 2003: 325, plate 158.
Diagnostic notes.
Ermia variabilis is an unmistakable little, brachypterous, stramineously coloured grasshopper (Figs 43, 45). Its flanks have a dark, reddish-brown and broad stripe, starting behind the eyes and continuing over the lateral lobes of the pronotum, the tegmina and the abdomen. Its relatively large head has a strongly sloping frons, ensiform antennae and large elongated eyes.
Distribution and occurrence.
Ermia variabilis is endemic to Socotra and confined to the Hagher massif, Dixam Plateau, Hamadero hills, Homhil and the Maaleh hills (Cheyrha) (Fig. 44). At Adho Dimello, it is abundant.
Popov collected one of the paratypes at Bijo, positioned on the map presented in Uvarov and Popov (1957) at 185 m a. s. l. It contradicts the statement by the same author that the species occurs above 2000 ft (609 m a. s. l.) (Popov in Uvarov and Popov (1957)). The label information is probably inaccurate and the specimen most likely has been found much higher in the mountains than at Bijo.
For remarks on Guichard’s collecting site on Mt. Shihali on 20 April 1967, see the species account of Dioscoridus depressus.
Habitat and biology.
On Socotra, E. variabilis occurs in dense vegetations of grasses and herbs in Frankincense woodland and forest, montane meadows with Hyparrhenia and Themeda - grasses (Fig. 45) and at lower elevations in savannah woodland (Cheyrha) and submontane grasslands (Dixam). Apart from the probably erroneous record at Bijo (185 m a. s. l), the species is recorded from 400–1100 m a. s. l. Records are from February to April, October and November.
Bioacoustics.
This species possibly produces a song, but it is unknown.

description: Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) is a hydrolysis product of the glucosinolate sinigrin, which is one kind of aliphatic glicosinolates, as a result of myrosinase activity. AITC has been known to have a potential to suppress oxidative stress (García et al., 2008). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of AITC in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver injury in rats. AITC treatment prior to CCl4 treatment ameliorate the index of liver injury molecules including alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in a dose dependent manner. AITC significantly restored the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and suppressed the elevated level of malondialdehyde (MDA). On the other hands, AITC elevated the level of heme oxygenase -1 compared with those of the vehicle-treated CCl4 group. The histopathological evaluation and Iba-1 immunoreactivity on macrophages matched with those of biochemical results. Collectively, these results imply that AITC ameliorates oxidative liver injury, possibly through the reduction of lipid peroxidation, enhancement of antioxidant enzymes, and suppression of Kupffer cells and macrophages.

description: Objective: To investigate unintended pregnancy and changes in mood, acne, and weight in NOMAC-E2 vs levonorgestrel-containing COC (COCLNG) users under 25 years. Methods: In this large, observational study, new users (first-ever users of an eligible COC or restarting with the same or a new eligible COC after a break of at least 2 months) of NOMAC-E2 and COCLNG were recruited in 12 countries in Europe, Australia, and Latin America and followed up via questionnaires for up to 2 years. Unintended pregnancy was expressed by the Pearl Index (PI; contraceptive failures/100 women-years). Crude (HRcrude) and adjusted hazard ratios (HRadj) were calculated. Mood and acne changes were defined as change of score from baseline. Weight change was defined as percent change of body weight. Results: Overall, 12,829 NOMAC-E2 users and 17,095 COCLNG users under 25 were followed-up. The risk of unintended pregnancy was statistically significantly lower in the NOMAC-E2 cohort; confirmed events: 30 NOMAC-E2 (PI 0.24; 95% CI, 0.16–0.35) vs 94 COCLNG (PI 0.51; 95% CI, 0.41–0.62). The HRcrude for unintended pregnancy comparing NOMAC-E2 to COCLNG was 0.47 (95% CI, 0.31–0.71) and the HRadj was 0.52 (95% CI, 0.34–0.78). No differential effect on acne, mood, and weight was observed between cohorts. Conclusions: NOMAC-E2 shows a significantly better contraceptive effectiveness in young women and has no differential effect on acne, mood, and weight compared to COCLNG.
