Plasma vasopressin during normal menstrual cycle.

R Punnonen, O Viinamäki, S Multamäki

    Hormone Research
    |January 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Plasma vasopressin levels in women show a slight increase around the time of peak estradiol during the menstrual cycle, but overall concentrations do not significantly change. Further research is needed to clarify the relationship between vasopressin and estradiol.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Reproductive Biology
    • Neuroendocrinology

    Background:

    • The menstrual cycle involves complex hormonal fluctuations, including changes in estradiol.
    • Vasopressin, a hormone involved in fluid balance and blood pressure, may be influenced by reproductive hormones.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between plasma vasopressin concentrations and different phases of the normal menstrual cycle.
    • To determine if serum estradiol levels correlate with vasopressin levels during the menstrual cycle.

    Main Methods:

    • Plasma vasopressin concentrations were measured in 14 healthy women at four distinct time points during their menstrual cycle.
    • Serum estradiol levels were also monitored to identify peak concentrations.

    Main Results:

    • Plasma vasopressin concentrations did not significantly differ across the four measured periods of the menstrual cycle.
    • A trend towards increased vasopressin was observed around days 11-13, coinciding with peak serum estradiol.
    • A decreasing tendency in vasopressin was noted after ovulation.

    Conclusions:

    • While a slight tendency for vasopressin to increase with peak estradiol was observed, no significant correlation was found between circulating vasopressin and 17 beta-estradiol throughout the menstrual cycle.
    • The precise role of vasopressin in the human menstrual cycle requires further investigation.
