Menstrual Cycle Phase Muscle Protein Synthesis

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Skeletal muscle size and function is regulated by various factors, including hormones. While we understand the role of male sex hormones (testosterone), we aren't sure how female sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone) influence muscle mass and strength. Female physiology is unique in that hormones fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle. In the first phase (follicular phase) following menstruation, estrogen levels are high while progesterone levels are low. In the second phase (luteal phase), progesterone levels are high. Females are often excluded from studies because researchers are concerned that the menstrual cycle might affect the results. The purpose of this study is to investigate the response to resistance exercise in each phase of the menstrual cycle.
