Variation in physiological function within and between menstrual cycles: uncovering the contributing factors.

Studies investigating hormonal influences at a cellular level demonstrate large, and often distinct effects of key sex hormones, such as oestrogen and progesterone, whereas in contrast, in vivo studies into physiological function across the menstrual cycle in humans often show heterogeneity in reported outcomes. One example of this is the assessment of vascular function via flow mediated dilatation (FMD), with a recent systematic review and meta-analysis by Williams et al (2020) highlighting considerable heterogeneity between studies investigating the change in FMD across the menstrual cycle
It is thought that much of the heterogeneity in menstrual cycle research can be explained by methodological differences between studies
