Hearing Performance in the Follicular-Luteal Phase of the Menstrual Cycle [PDF]
Introduction. Estrogen has a protective role on auditory function. It may have an excitatory action on auditory nerve fibers and can have a neuroprotective effect. Progesterone has a mainly inhibitory action on the central nervous system, which may balance the mainly excitatory action of estrogen. Objective.

Menstrual cycle phase and sexual arousability in women [PDF]
__Abstract__ Sexual arousability of women has not been consistently found to vary significantly over phases of the menstrual cycle. We studied changes in the temperature of a labium minus and subjective sexual and genital arousal recorded on semantic ...

Gonadotropin in follicular phase in women with luteal phase defect.
Serum FSH and LH in women with luteal phase defect were measured. Their serum FSH and LH were lower than those in normal women and higher than those in women with amenorrhea. Administration of clomiphene citrate to the women with luteal phase defect were effective in 2/3 of the cases.

A self-excited threshold autoregressive state-space model for menstrual cycles: forecasting menstruation and identifying ovarian phases based on basal body temperature [PDF]
The menstrual cycle is composed of the follicular phase and subsequent luteal phase based on events occurring in the ovary. Basal body temperature (BBT) reflects this biphasic aspect of menstrual cycle and tends to be relatively low during the follicular phase.

PURPOSEThis study aimed to compare the variability of the uterus during the menses phase (MP), follicular phase (FP), and luteal phase (LP) of the menstrual cycle using intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI).METHODSThis ...

The weakest link bridging germinal center B cells and follicular dendritic cells limits antibody affinity maturation [PDF]
The affinity of antibodies (Abs) produced in vivo for their target antigens (Ags) is typically well below the maximum affinity possible. Nearly 25 years ago, Foote and Eisen explained how an 'affinity ceiling' could arise from constraints associated with the acquisition of soluble antigen by B cells.

Bifurcation-based parameter tuning in a model of the GnRH pulse and surge generator [PDF]
We investigate a model of the GnRH pulse and surge generator, with the definite aim of constraining the model GnRH output with respect to a physiologically relevant list of specifications. The alternating pulse and surge pattern of secretion results from

Steroid profile of porcine follicular fluid and blood serum: Relation with follicular development
The aim of this study was to identify follicular fluid (FF) steroids which reflect follicular development in the early stages of the follicular phase and to establish whether the levels of these FF steroids correspond to their levels in serum.
