Effect of the menstrual cycle in ethanol pharmacokinetics

Reliability of Compartmental Body Composition Measures in Weight-Stable Adults Using GE iDXA: Implications for Research and Practice

“…Men and women differ in body composition [ 39 ], and the variability of measures over time may be impacted by sex. Adiposity levels in women are associated with menstrual cycle sex hormone patterns [ 40 ]; some studies also suggest that body composition is altered during the menstrual cycle [ 41 , 42 ] whereas others have reported no significant impact of cycle phase on body composition measures [ 43 ]. The present study did not control for the menstrual cycle of participants; if fluctuations in adiposity were occurring, they may have contributed to the increased level of variability observed between visits.…”

Breast pumping and lactational state exert differential effects on ethanol pharmacokinetics

“…When tested during lactation, each woman was exclusively breastfeeding and consequently had not yet resumed menstruation. Although research revealed that no significant effects of menstrual cycle phase on alcohol pharmacokinetics (Corrêa et al, 2004; Haddad et al, 1998; Mumenthaler et al, 1999), cycle phase was nevertheless controlled for after lactation such that women were tested during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle.…”

Estimation of Prepractice Hydration Status of National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Athletes

“…2,5,21 Follicular and Luteal Phases of Menstruation. The threshold temperature for sweating has been shown to increase in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle 9,18 ; however, Haddad et al 22 did not report differences in total body water between the midfollicular and midluteal phases of the menstrual cycle. We did not find differences in hydration status with different phases of the menstrual cycle; however, to confirm these findings, urine specific gravity or plasma osmolarity needs to be compared within the same athletes at different times in their menstrual cycles.…”
