Impact of the menstrual cycle on determinants of energy balance: a putative role in weight loss attempts

Abstract: Women's weight and body composition is significantly influenced by the female sex-steroid hormones. Levels of these hormones fluctuate in a defined manner throughout the menstrual cycle and interact to modulate energy homeostasis. This paper reviews the scientific literature on the relationship between hormonal changes across the menstrual cycle and components of energy balance, with the aim of clarifying whether this influences weight loss in women. In the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle it appears that w… Show more

“…The fast-release MPH used in this study was manufactured by Novartis Pharmaceuticals (Montreal, Canada). For women, at least one month separated each experimental session, as they were always tested between days 1 and 5 in the follicular phase of their menstrual cycle to control for monthly hormonal effects on appetite and energy intake, which can be considerable (Davidsen et al 2007). For men, at least 1 week elapsed between each of the experimental sessions to ensure the medications were washed out of the body.…”

“…However, all regression analyses were adjusted for bodyweight (zBMI), which according to Jakes et al [51] has considerable advantages over adjusting for total energy intake. A final limitation was that no measures of pubertal stage or menstrual cycle were taken into account as these could possible affect energy intake and SR [33,[52][53][54].…”

“…Participants attended the laboratory before and after each intervention period for a total of 4 visits. Each laboratory visit lasted #5 h. To avoid the potential impact on outcome measures of the stage in the menstrual cycle (18)(19)(20), participants started each intervention period during the early phase of the menstrual cycle (days 1-7).…”
