Healthy women and infertile asthmatic patients do not show any change in IgE, circulating eosinophils, sensitivity to metacholine, lung volumes. Allergic asthmatic patients tested in periods without allergen load and drug intake showed contrasting cycle related changes in aspecific hyperreactivity. Such changes are not directly related to hormonal levels. Circulating mediators are likely to explain observed pathways.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008597 Menstrual Cycle The period from onset of one menstrual bleeding (MENSTRUATION) to the next in an ovulating woman or female primate. The menstrual cycle is regulated by endocrine interactions of the HYPOTHALAMUS; the PITUITARY GLAND; the ovaries; and the genital tract. The menstrual cycle is divided by OVULATION into two phases. Based on the endocrine status of the OVARY, there is a FOLLICULAR PHASE and a LUTEAL PHASE. Based on the response in the ENDOMETRIUM, the menstrual cycle is divided into a proliferative and a secretory phase.

D001985 Bronchial Provocation Tests Tests involving inhalation of allergens (nebulized or in dust form), nebulized pharmacologically active solutions (e.g., histamine, methacholine), or control solutions, followed by assessment of respiratory function.
