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

Experimental 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.

In vivo characterization of connective tissue remodeling using infrared photoacoustic spectra [PDF]

, 2018
Premature cervical remodeling is a critical precursor of spontaneous preterm birth, and the remodeling process is characterized by an increase in tissue hydration.

Vascular health and exercise in females throughout the lifespan: Exploring puberty, pregnancy and menopause

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This narrative review highlights the impact of exercise on vascular health in females over the lifespan with an emphasis on puberty, pregnancy and menopause. These events encompass substantial changes in sex hormone levels, particularly oestrogens and progesterone.

The therapeutic role of exercise training during menopause for reducing vascular disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Menopause marks a major milestone in female reproductive ageing. It is characterized by the cessation of ovarian function and a concomitant decline in hormones such as oestradiol. Subsequently, females undergoing menopausal transition experience a progressive increase in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease risk.

Myths and methodologies: Optimising experimental rigour in heat adaptation research: Menstrual status classification and scheduling approaches

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Women remain underrepresented in thermal physiology research, particularly within studies examining physiological adaptation to hot environments. Among the limited research that includes female participants, few studies have appropriately classified menstrual status of their participants or rigorously accounted for ovarian hormone influences ...

Role of natural and synthetic progestins in progression of human breast cancer cells in an animal model [abstract] [PDF]

, 2010
Post-menopausal women with an intact uterus receive combined dose of estrogen and progestin during hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to reduce clinical symptoms such as hot flashes.

Passive heat intervention research in women: Systematic review and audit of female representation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive heat interventions (PHIs) are non‐exercise heat‐acclimation strategies that improve physiological markers associated with heat tolerance and reduce vulnerability to heat‐related illness, when exercise is not feasible. However, representation of female participants within this literature remains unclear.

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

Experimental 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 ...

Determinants of maximal oxygen uptake in highly trained females and males: a mechanistic study of sex differences using advanced invasive methods

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The results from this study show that maximal cardiac output, stroke volume and leg blood flow are similar between highly trained females and males after normalisation to lean body mass (LBM). However, the 10% higher haemoglobin concentration ([Hb]) and arterial O2 content in males result in higher systemic and leg O2 delivery ...
