Implicit memory varies across
the menstrual cycle: estrogen effects in young women
Evaluation of effects of
estrogen and progesterone on memory, motor skills and fluency across the
menstrual cycle. Estrogen levels correlated positively with verbal
fluency. In the luteal phase, there was an increase in motor skills, and
decrease in mental rotation ability.

Does the time of the month
affect the function of the gut?
Female hormones affect
gallbladder contractions, lower esophageal sphincter pressure, and gut
motility. This study suggests the possibility that more starch is absorbed
from the gut in the second half of the cycle.

Increased vasopressin and
adrenocorticotropin responses to stress in the midluteal phase of the
menstrual cycle
In response to the same stress,
women in the second half of the cycle produced significantly more ACTH,
vasopressin and glucose than in the first half of the cycle. Cortisol
levels were the same.

Haemodynamic responses to
psychosocial stress during the menstrual cycle
As opposed to the first half of

monitoring showed statistically higher systolic blood pressure and heart
rate, as well as a significantly higher jump in heart rate in response to
stress.

Hemostatic responses to mental

In response to stress, women
experienced significant increases in heart rate, blood pressure,

factor antigen, and tPA activity. These changes were more pronounced in
the luteal phase. There were no menstrual cycle differences in factor VII
coagulant activity.

light.
