Sucrose thresholds were measured at three points during the menstrual cycle for 14 women who were not taking oral contraceptives. Thirteen men also were tested at similar intervals. Sucrose thresholds of the men remained constant throughout the experiment. During menstruation and postovulation, the thresholds of the women were similar to the thresholds of the men, whereas during preovulation the thresholds of the women are significantly lower. The stable sucrose thresholds of the men suggest that ovarian hormones may be involved in the variation in sucrose sucrose thresholds of the women. The increase in sensitivity of the women during preovulation may have been related to the high level of estrogen, whereas the decrease in sensitivity during postovulation may be due to some type of interaction between estrogen and progesterone.
