title: Autonomic functions during different phases of menstrual cycle.
abstract: Autonomic functions were studied in female healthy human subjects during the pre-menstrual, menstrual and post-menstrual phases. Our findings indicate a higher BP (systolic) and lower GSR in pre-menstrual phase as compared to other phases. Parasympathetic activity on the other hand does not show significant differences.
