The Effect Of The Menstrual Cycle On Hemoglobin Mass, Melissa Keller, Sophie Lalande Feb 2019

The Effect Of The Menstrual Cycle On Hemoglobin Mass, Melissa Keller, Sophie Lalande

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

The impact of the menstrual cycle on oxygen-carrying capacity remains equivocal. Previous studies reported either reductions or no significant changes in hemoglobin concentration during the follicular phase when compared to the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Changes in plasma volume associated with fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels likely contribute to the variations in hemoglobin concentration observed throughout the menstrual cycle. Thus, measures of hemoglobin concentration do not accurately represent the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Hemoglobin mass represents a more direct measure of oxygen-carrying capacity. However, the impact of menstrual blood loss on hemoglobin mass remains unknown. Purpose: To …
