In a study of 42 girls, aged 12 to 15 years, including 27 patients with dysfunctional uterine bleedings (DUB) and 15 normal controls, the levels of glucose, total lipids, beta-lipoproteins, total cholesterol, as well as beta-lipoprotein, triglycerides, nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) cholesterol and aminotransferrase activity were compared. NEFA levels were found to be increased fivefold over the normal values in DUB patients.
