The modulatory influence of different phases of menstrual cycle on the parasympathetic tone in sedentary females-A cross-sectional study
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction The cyclical fluctuating gonadal hormones in a female affect the functioning of the autonomic nervous system amp a decline in parasympathetic neural activity is a forerunner to multiple cardiac conditions like MI angina etc hence its detection at its inception is primary to institute remedial measuresAim The aim of the present study was to examine whether the cardiac parasympathetic status of a healthy eumenorrhic female is altered during different phases of menstrual cycleMaterials and Methods Thirty eumenorrhic females were recruited during the follicular and luteal phases of menstrual cycle amp subjected to battery of parasympathetic autonomic testsStatistical Analysis Data was analyzed statistically using studentrsquos paired ttestResults The results from 3015 ratio in follicular phase was 119 plusmn005 while in luteal 108 plusmn005nbsp EI ratio in follicular 158 plusmn015 while in luteal phase was 129 plusmn025 Valsalva ratio in follicular 189 plusmn032 while in luteal phase was 173 plusmn034 while the values of DBD and Tachycardia ratio were insignificant statisticallyConclusion We hence conclude that there is an obvious interaction between the gonadal hormones and autonomic nervous system which is reflected by a reduced vagal outflow during luteal phaseKeywords Autonomic Deep Breathing difference Menstrual cycle Parasympathetic Vagal
