Women have used birth-control pills since the 1960s, but researchers still do not know everything about the body's complex reaction to the small, hormone-laden pill. Researchers from Aarhus University and the United States have studied the stress response of 131 young women when having a blood sample taken. Some of the women were on birth-control pills, while others were not. The researchers specifically measured the levels of the stress hormone ACTH in the women's blood. The study showed that 15 minutes of social activity after having a blood sample taken lowers stress hormone levels in women who are not on the birth-control pill.
