Oral hormonal contraceptives affect the concentration and composition of urinary glycosaminoglycans in young women.
Introduction and hypothesis: Urinary glycosaminoglycans (uGAG) have protective effects against urinary tract disorders. Here we investigated whether oral hormonal contraceptives (OC) affect uGAG excretion.
Methods: Urine specimens were from young women regularly taking: ethinyl estradiol + drospirenone, n = 9; ethinyl estradiol + cyproterone acetate, n = 9; and ethinyl estradiol + gestodene, n = 7. Controls were from ten women not taking OC. Total uGAG was assayed as hexuronic acid/urinary creatinine. Sulfated uGAG species was determined by electrophoresis.
Results: Unlike controls, total uGAG in the two halves of the menstrual cycle was similar in the OC groups. Whole cycle uGAG was higher in the OC groups (p < 0.01), especially for ethinyl estradiol + cyproterone acetate (p < 0.005). The three OC produced decreases of approximately 50% in heparan sulfate (p < 0.02) and dermatan sulfate (p < 0.02), and a approximately 100% increase in chondroitin sulfate (p < 0.004).
Conclusions: uGAG excretion is changed in women taking OC, and this might enhance the protective effects of these molecules against urinary tract disorders.
