“…Our findings of serum sodium and potassium levels during menstrual cycle correlated well with the findings of M. Mira et al 26 . Although, it is documented that during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle sodium-retaining hormone secretion increase 6 , present study found a significant decrease in sodium in luteal phase. Possible causes for this change in sodium concentration include the increased concentrations of antidiuretic hormone in the luteal phase 27 and the antagonism effect of progesterone to the typical sodium retentive influence of aldosterone 37 .…”

“…These hormones are known to have an effect on oxygen carrying capacity, immune response, bleeding and also changes in serum electrolytes which may be responsible for variable physical, psychological symptoms and autonomic changes. It is suggested that stressful situations during ovulatory periods and menstruation may cause increased 17-hydroxy corticosterone levels with resulting eosinopenia 6 . Platelet function is periodically altered during the ovarian cycle due to the influence of progesterone and estrogen on Von Willebrand factor concentrations 9 .…”

“…In the luteal phase, a progesterone-induced inhibition of aldosterone-dependent sodium reabsorption at distal sites in the nephron causes transient natriuresis (12). This natriuresis is followed by a compensatory stimulation of the reninaldosterone system (9,16,20), resulting in a slight attenuation of sodium excretion during the luteal phase (7.2 Ϯ 1.4 vs. 11.5 Ϯ 2.0 meq). Nonetheless, overall water and sodium balance appear unaffected by the shifts in either progesterone or the sodium regulation hormones (9).…”

We tested the physiological reliability of plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma concentrations of arginine vasopressin (P[AVP]), aldosterone (P[ALD]), and atrial natriuretic peptide (P[ANP]) in the early follicular phase and midluteal phases over the course of two menstrual cycles (n = 9 women, ages 25 +/- 1 yr). The reliability (Cronbach's alpha >/=0.80) of these hormones within a given phase of the cycle was tested 1) at rest, 2) after 2.5 h of dehydrating exercise, and 3) during a rehydration period. The mean hormone concentrations were similar within both the early follicular and midluteal phase tests; and the mean concentrations of P[ALD] and PRA for the three test conditions were significantly greater during the midluteal compared with the early follicular phase. Although Cronbach's alpha for resting and recovery P[ANP] were high (0.80 and 0.87, respectively), the resting and rehydration values for P[AVP], P[ALD], and PRA were variable between trials for the follicular (alpha from 0.49 to 0.55) and the luteal phase (alpha from 0.25 to 0. 66). Physiological reliability was better after dehydration for P[AVP] and PRA but remained low for P[ALD]. Although resting and recovery P[AVP], P[ALD], and PRA were not consistent within a given menstrual phase, the differences in the concentrations of these hormones between the different menstrual phases far exceeded the variability within the phases, indicating that the low within-phase reliability does not prevent the detection of menstrual phase-related differences in these hormonal variables.

“…A limitation of our study is that we did not monitor All plasma levels. During the menstrual cycle, plasma A ll concen trations are higher in the luteal than in the follicular phase [33,34], However, we do not know whether the plasma A ll concen trations achieved in our women after A ll infusion are compara ble to those physiologically occurring in MLP. Further studies are necessary to place the plasma LH rise observed in its proper biological perspective.…”

In this study we investigated the effect of intravenous infusion of angiotensin II (AII) on plasma luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in fertile healthy women examined both in the middle follicular phase (MFP) and in the middle luteal phase (MLP). As expected, AII induced a significant increase in blood pressure and plasma aldosterone concentration. In MFP, plasma FSH and LH levels did not show any significant change after AII infusion, if compared to both saline and preinfusion basal values. In MLP, AII significantly increased plasma LH (p < 0.02 vs. baseline values and p < 0.01 vs. placebo values), but not plasma FSH. The area under the curve during AII infusion resulted significantly higher than during placebo infusion (p < 0.001). Therefore, these data demonstrate that peripherally injected AII at pressive dose produces an increase in plasma LH levels in normal women on luteal phase when the circulating concentrations of both estradiol and progesterone are high. The study suggests that AII may have a stimulatory role in the regulation of LH secretion, but this role is closely related to the gonadal steroid plasma levels.
