Why the study?
Do natural hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle affect endothelial function and arterial compliance in healthy premenopausal women?
Do natural hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle affect endothelial function and arterial compliance in healthy premenopausal women?
Endothelial function and arterial compliance fluctuate significantly across the menstrual cycle, highlighting the importance of standardizing for menstrual phase in vascular research involving premenopausal women.

Menstrual phase standardization needed in premenopausal vascular studies; leaves open effects on clinical risk assessment.
Williams et al. (2001) studied this question.
