...K. J. ELLIOTT; N. T. CABLE; T. REILLY; M. J. DIVER To investigate the effect of changes in sex hormone concentration on muscle strength and the bioavailability of 17-β oestradiol (oestradiol) and testosterone, seven eumenorrheic females were tested during two phases of the menstrual cycle. Maximum...

...Antoinette PECHÈRE-BERTSCHI; Marc MAILLARD; Hans STALDER; Hans R. BRUNNER; Michel BURNIER The purpose of the present study was to evaluate prospectively blood pressure and the renal haemodynamic response to salt during the normal menstrual cycle. A total of 35 healthy normotensive young women...

...A. V. EMMANUEL; M. A. KAMM; R. W. BEARD Pelvic venous congestion is a common cause of chronic pelvic pain in women of reproductive age. Although this condition represents a functional disturbance of the pelvic circulation which is related to the menstrual cycle, its aetiology remains unknown...

...G. I. Adebayo; L. Hemeryck; M. Hall; D. Gasparro; M. Sinnott; J. Feely 1. We undertook a temporal study of external sodium-stimulated lithium efflux (sodium—lithium countertransport) in erythrocytes and blood pressure by measuring these two parameters in three phases of the menstrual cycle...

...Christine Willekes; Henk J. Hoogland; Hans A. Keizer; Arnold P. Hoeks; Robert S. Reneman 1. In previous studies, the elastic properties of the common carotid artery were found to differ between men and women. In these studies, however, the phase of the menstrual cycle was not taken...

... variation in urinary kallikrein excretion and this could be related to the stage of the menstrual cycle, with significantly greater urinary kallikrein excretion in the luteal phase than in the follicular phase. 5. Plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone concentration also showed a menstrual variation...

...G. D. Webb; G. G. Ashmead; S. Al-Mahdi; F. J. Auletta; M. K. McLaughlin 1. We have studied the transport of Na + and K + by erythrocytes during the follicular and luteal phases of the human menstrual cycle, and in pregnant compared with non-pregnant women. Venous blood was drawn from 10 healthy...

...F. P. Dunne; D. G. Barry; J. B. Ferriss; G. Grealy; D. Murphy 1. Changes in blood pressure during the normal menstrual cycle are not well documented, and previous studies have given conflicting results. 2. Thirty normotensive women and ten mildly hypertensive women measured their blood pressure...

...Karin Manhem; Christina Jern; Martin Pilhall; Guy Shanks; Sverker Jern 1. The haemodynamic effects of hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle were examined in 11 normotensive women (age 20–46 years). The subjects were studied on days 2–8 (follicular phase) and days 18–26 (luteal phase...

... of sex hormones to these differences, we studied skin and forearm blood flow during the natural changes in hormone levels which occur during the menstrual cycle. 2. Thirty-one healthy female volunteers were studied. The effect of a standardized finger cooling test (immersion of a gloved hand in a 16°C...

...Ahmad A. K. Hassan; G. Carter; J. E. Tooke 1. Postural vasoconstriction in the foot was examined in 15 women during the menstrual, follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle, and in 13 age-matched men on two separate occasions, in a constant-temperature environment (22°C). 2. Skin blood...

...J. C. Monaghan; D. A. Willcocks; M. J. Sinosich; G. S. Stokes 1. Studies of erythrocyte cation transport mechanisms in vitro were performed on eight normotensive, premenopausal female subjects at the mid-points of the follicular and luteal phases of their menstrual cycles. Concurrent plasma...

The timing of onset of attacks of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) in relation to the menstrual cycle has been studied in three patients experiencing frequent attacks. Nineteen of their 27 admissions in attack for which...

...J. Paciorek; N. Spencer 1. Erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase I was measured by immunoelectrophoresis in blood samples taken at intervals during the menstrual cycle of 26 normal women. Plasma progesterone concentrations were also measured in 18 of these subjects. In every case, the erythrocyte carbonic...

... during the menstrual cycle showed that there was significantly greater activity during days 29–32 and 1–4 than during the rest of the cycle. This pattern was most marked in the morning values of kallikrein but not apparent either in the morning or in the afternoon values of protein or amylase. Clinical...

...O. M. Edwards; R. I. S. Bayliss 1. Water and electrolyte excretion was measured in the follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle in seven patients with idiopathic oedema and in four post-menopausal patients with this condition. 2. In contrast to previous findings in healthy women...

...Owen M. Edwards; R. I. S. Bayliss 1. Water and electrolyte excretion has been measured in both the follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle in eight normal females undergoing a sustained water diuresis. 2. When the subjects were supine, no differences were found in urinary excretion...
