title: Calcitonin gene-related peptide, the menstrual cycle and premenstrual syndrome.
abstract: Calcitonin gene-related peptide plasma levels were measured during four different phases of ovulatory menstrual cycles, in eight women suffering from the premenstrual syndrome and in eight controls. No significant fluctuations in calcitonin gene-related peptide levels occurred during the menstrual cycle. Neither were there significant differences in calcitonin gene-related peptide levels between the premenstrual syndrome and control groups.
