UTMB's Dr. Abbey Berenson is featured in this article about a study that found women who quickly gain weight after starting Depo Provera shots. Berenson was lead researcher on the study. "The findings suggest that women who quickly gain weight with the contraceptive should talk with their doctors about other options for birth control, advised Dr. Abbey Berenson, the senior researcher on the study and a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. Such early gainers, she told Reuters Health, appear likely to continue on that path." This article is being distributed worldwide and has been posted on Reuters India.
