Why the study?
Does the mid luteal phase of the ovarian cycle increase muscle sympathetic nerve activity compared to the early follicular phase in eumenorrheic women?
Does the mid luteal phase of the ovarian cycle increase muscle sympathetic nerve activity compared to the early follicular phase in eumenorrheic women?
Sympathoexcitation during the mid luteal phase of the ovarian cycle is dependent on the degree of sex steroid surges, which may explain previously reported inconsistencies regarding MSNA across the menstrual cycle.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May link mid-luteal steroid surges to MSNA rise in eumenorrheic women; leaves open consistency across populations and clinical relevance.
Carter et al. (2012) studied this question.
