Abstract
The effect of androgenic progestogens on cardiovascular risk factors may not be as deleterious as previously assumed, especially if the lower HDL levels result from more efficient reverse cholesterol transport. The hormone related rise in C-reactive protein, without a corresponding increase in interleukin-6, may not represent a systemic inflammatory response.
