Changes in relationship quality across the female menstrual cycle: a diary study of dating couplesChen, Jennie Ying-Chen 25 April 2007 (has links)
Strategic pluralism in human mating behaviors has been explored in recent years.
Women may engage in short-term and long-term mating relationships simultaneously to
reap the benefits of both strategies. However, little research testing the extent to which
the strategies are used within couples has been conducted. According to this model,
women typically should engage in long-term mating strategies. However, during
ovulation when the risk of conception is greatest, women may enact a short-term mating
strategy, particularly if their primary relationship is not perceived to be high in quality or
if their current partner is viewed as less attractive. The current study followed 45
couples for 30 consecutive days. Both partners in each couple were asked to complete
daily diaries that involved ratings of daily relationship quality, jealousy, and ovulation
cues. Additionally, saliva samples were collected from each woman to confirm her
ovulation status. Using Hierarchal Linear Modeling (HLM), the data confirmed that
women tended to be less interested in their primary relationship during ovulation, the
effect being more pronounced if women reported less relationship satisfaction or were
mated with less attractive partners. Men also reported that their partners were less
focused on the relationship and that their partner's scent was more attractive during
ovulation than at other times of the menstrual cycle. These provide some evidence that women tend to focus less on their romantic relationships during ovulation, and that men
tend to corroborate their partner' s reports.

Body temperature and physical activity correlates of the menstrual cycle in female chacma baboons (Papio hamadryas ursinus)Nyakudya, Trevor Tapiwa 27 September 2010 (has links)
MSc (Med), Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand / I investigated the relationship between abdominal temperature, physical activity, anogenital swellings, and faecal and urine ovarian steroid hormonal concentrations over the menstrual cycle in baboons in an attempt to devise a reliable non-hormonal physiological indicator to detect ovulation. Using a miniature thermometric data logger surgically implanted in the abdominal cavity and an activity data logger implanted subcutaneously on the trunk, I measured, continuously over six months at a 10 min interval, abdominal temperature and physical activity patterns in four female adult baboons, Papio hamadryas ursinus (12.9-19.9 kg), unrestrained in cages in an indoor animal facility (22-25°C). I monitored menstrual bleeding, and anogenital swelling changes using digital photography, and collected urine and faeces, daily, to ascertain the stage and length of the menstrual cycle. The length of the menstrual cycle, determined from daily observations of menstrual bleeding and anogenital swellings, was 36 ± 2 days (mean ± SD). Baboons exhibited a cyclic change in anogenital swellings, abdominal temperature, physical activity, urine and faecal steroid hormones over the menstrual cycle. Mean 24-h abdominal temperature during the luteal phase was significantly higher (ANOVA, p = 0.04; F (2,9) = 4.7) than during the ovulatory phase, but not different to the follicular phase. Physical activity also followed a similar pattern, with mean 24 h physical activity almost twice as high in the luteal than in the ovulatory phase (ANOVA, p = 0.58; F (2,12) = 5.8). As expected, urine and faecal oestradiol was higher in the follicular than in the luteal phase, while progesterone was higher in the luteal than the follicular phase. Cortisol in both urine and faecal samples did not show any
vi
recognisable menstrual cycle related pattern. I have characterised correlates of the menstrual cycle in baboons and shown, for the first time, a rhythm of physical activity over the baboon menstrual cycle. I have also shown, from the measurements of abdominal temperature, physical activity, ovarian steroid hormonal concentrations and anogenital swellings, that ovulation in captive unrestrained baboons, and probably also free-living baboons, can be estimated from anogenital swellings or possibly abdominal temperature and physical activity, without the need for hormone measurements.

Activation of the corticolimbic brain by visual food cues; Effect of menstrual cycle phase and moodFrank, TAMAR 27 September 2009 (has links)
Hypothalamic control of food intake may be overridden by cortical and limbic brain regions that process reward and the hedonic aspect of food, affecting the ability to discriminate between homeostatic and hedonic feeding. Women, in particular may be affected since cognition and perception of reward change during the menstrual cycle. Changes in estrogen and progesterone levels during the menstrual cycle induce changes in appetite and eating behavior. Food intake declines in the peri-ovulatory period when estrogen levels peak, but increases in the luteal phase when progesterone levels increase. In this novel study we introduce a different context in which to study appetite regulation; the menstrual cycle.
The two main study objectives were: 1) to compare the BOLD response between the peri-ovulatory and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle and 2) to compare the BOLD response between women in a negative and positive affect state in response to visual food stimuli using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Pictures of food, regardless of their caloric content stimulated greater activation during the follicular phase compared to the luteal phase in the orbitofrontal cortex, fusiform, amygdala and inferior operculum. Activity was present in the hippocampus, ventral tegmental area and nucleus accumbens in response to high calorie images but not low calorie images during the follicular phase. The insula showed selective activity responding to high calorie pictures in the luteal phase and low calorie pictures in the follicular phase.
High calorie food cues elicited greater BOLD signal for women reporting negative affect in the putamen, amygdala, pulvinar, prefrontal cortex, pallidum, fusiform and ventral tegmental area.
In summary, visual food cues produced a more robust response during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle and during a negative mood state in brain regions modulating the rewarding and motivational effects of food images. An increased understanding of how appetite-regulating brain regions respond during the menstrual cycle and in different mood states may facilitate the development of new therapies to reduce the incidence of obesity. / Thesis (Master, Physiology) -- Queen's University, 2009-09-25 15:35:15.609
