Modeling Hormonal Control of the Menstrual Cycle
نویسنده
چکیده
This study presents a strategy for developing a mathematical model describing the concentrations of five hormones important for regulation and maintenance of the menstrual cycle. Models which correctly predict the serum levels of ovarian and pituitary hormones may assist the experimentalist by indicating directions of investigation. In addition, model simulations may be helpful for evaluating the effects of exogenous compounds on the sexual endocrine system of adult women, for testing hormonal methods of birth control, and for understanding the phenomenon of menstrual cycle synchronization.

Towards Personalized Modeling of the Female Hormonal Cycle: Experiments with Mechanistic Models and Gaussian Processes
In this paper, we introduce a novel task for machine learning in healthcare, namely personalized modeling of the female hormonal cycle. The motivation for this work is to model the hormonal cycle and predict its phases in time, both for healthy individuals and for those with disorders of the reproductive system. Because there are individual differences in the menstrual cycle, we are particularl...

متن کاملThe relationship between menstrual cycle phases and suicide attempts.
OBJECTIVE The validity of prior studies on the menstrual cycle and suicide attempts assumes that suicidal women accurately describe their cycles. The three objectives of this study were 1) to explore whether prior inconsistencies are due to the effects of sample selection and method of assessment of the menstrual cycle, 2) to assess the relationship between the menstrual cycle phase and suicide...
متن کاملP-137: Sex Hormones Abnormalities and Female Sexual Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common cause of progressive neurological disability in young adults who may be sexually active. MS patients experience high levels of sexual dysfunction with hypoactive sexual behavior and abnormalities in hypothalamus- pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the correlation between serum levels of sex hormones durin...
