This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This study will evaluate the effects of a common herbal remedy, St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum), on metabolism of levonorgestrel in a dosing regimen for emergency contraception. Emergency contraception, if taken soon after unprotected intercourse, prevents pregnancy. St. John¿s Wort induces the P450 enzyme system in the liver, and may cause increased metabolism of contraceptive steroids used as emergency contraception. This will be a randomized, blinded, clinical trial of four groups of reproductive-aged women to assess the potential interaction between St. John¿s Wort and levonorgestrel.

该子项目是利用 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者 (PI) 可能已从另一个 NIH 来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中得到体现。列出的机构是中心的机构，不一定是研究者的机构。本研究将评估一种常见草药圣约翰草（贯叶连翘）对紧急避孕给药方案中左炔诺孕酮代谢的影响。如果在无保护的性交后立即服用紧急避孕药，可以防止怀孕。圣约翰草会诱导肝脏中的 P450 酶系统，并可能导致用作紧急避孕的避孕类固醇的代谢增加。这将是一项针对四组育龄妇女的随机、盲法临床试验，旨在评估圣约翰草和左炔诺孕酮之间的潜在相互作用。
