Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Optimizing cerebrovascular endothelial health through shear stress modulation

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The endothelium plays a pivotal role in regulating cerebrovascular blood flow, and its dysfunction increases the risk of cerebrovascular disease. Endothelial shear stress, a primary mechanical stimulus for endothelial nitric oxide production, is a key modulator of vascular adaptation.

Influence of menstrual cycle phase on inflammatory and vascular responses to acute passive heating in healthy young women

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine whether inflammatory and vascular responses to passive heating differ between the early follicular phase (EFP) and the mid‐luteal phase (MLP) of the menstrual cycle. Ten healthy, naturally menstruating females (26 ± 3 years of age; body mass index 21.4 ± 1.9 kg/m2) were assessed during EFP and MLP ...

Menopause and vascular endothelial health: Is it all about the oestrogen?

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality in women, and CVD risk is accelerated during the menopause transition. This acceleration has traditionally been attributed to the hallmark decline in oestradiol with menopause. However, the menopause transition is also characterized by changes in other sex hormones that exert effects

Sex differences in the prefrontal cortex and muscle oxygenation during exercise until exhaustion in endurance‐trained individuals

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend During cardiopulmonary exercise testing, the decline in oxygenation in the prefrontal cortex of women is striking. This crucial brain area is directly involved in planning motor tasks. The decline is particularly pronounced at higher exercise intensities, especially after reaching the respiratory compensation point or anaerobic ...

Influence of oestradiol on exercise induced muscular damage and heart rate variability in a non‐trained healthy population

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates in non‐trained healthy women the influence of oestradiol (E2) on exercise induced muscular damage (EIMD) and performance. Thirty‐six young healthy women performed a step‐exercise until exhaustion, assessing the number of repetitions, pain perception and well‐being (questionnaires, 15 min and at 48 h post‐exercise), blood ...
