EFFECT OF FOLLICULAR AND LUTEAL PHASE OF MENSTRUAL CYCLE ON VISUAL REACTION TIME IN HEALTHY ADULT FEMALES.
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Background & Objectives: During menstrual cycle the level of female sex hormones changes. These not only affect the female reproductive organs but also affect central nervous system. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of follicular and luteal phase of menstrual cycle on reaction time. Method: The study was conducted on 50 healthy adult female with regular menstrual cycle, between the age group of 26-40 years. Simple and Choice visual reaction time were measured during follicular and luteal phases. The result was statistically analysed by graph Pad Instat Statistical software (demo version). P<0.05 was taken as significant. Results: Simple and Choice visual reaction time both were longer during luteal phase as compared to follicular phase of menstrual cycle. Interpretation & Conclusion: Prolonged visual reaction time during luteal phase could be due to effect of progesterone on neural transmission.
