The serum levels of magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, zinc and cholesterol were assessed in various phases of menstrual and ovulatory cycles in normal menstruating women. This study also compared the plasma and salivary concentration of the minerals, in search of a noninvasive biomarker to detect ovulation. The basal body temperature and ferning pattern in saliva were measured during the phases of menstrual cycle. The ovarian phase of menstrual cycle comprises of three phases namely follicular, ovulatory and luteal. Plasma and salivary concentrations of magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc and cholesterol concentrations were highest during ovulation period. Hormones like estrogen had a rapid rise in ovulation phase followed by abrupt decline in luteal phase whereas the fluctuation in levels of progesterone was maximum in luteal phase. Among the various components magnesium exhibited maximum variation followed by calcium, total cholesterol, phosphorus and the least was by zinc. This study provides evidence that both plasma and salivary concentration of magnesium can fluctuate during the menstrual cycle, which correlates with the hormonal levels thus making it a novel biomarker to detect ovulation. These changes at metabolic level will require further analysis in future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
