Study Description
The BioCycle Study is a prospective cohort study completed at the University at Buffalo and offers a unique and comprehensive assessment of menstrual cycle function. The primary goal of the BioCycle Study was to better understand the intricate relationship between reproductive hormone levels and oxidative stress during the menstrual cycle. Multiple markers of oxidative stress, reproductive hormones, inflammation, and metabolic biomarkers were measured in a cohort of 259 women of reproductive age over the course of two menstrual cycles. Fertility monitors were utilized to time the subjects' visits to ensure appropriate timing of biospecimen collection. Additional information regarding diet, lifestyle, and physical measurements was obtained throughout the study via standardized questionnaires, anthropometric assessments, and daily diaries. Participants were highly adherent to the study protocol, with 94% of all women completing seven or eight visits per cycle. Regularly menstruating premenopausal female volunteers aged 18–44 years from the western New York state region.
