Summary

The effect of menstrual stress on serum lipid levels has been investigated in 28 healthy unmarried student nurses aged between 19 and 25 years, with histories of regular 26–30 day menstrual cycles. There were definite and similar patterns of changes in serum cholesterol, phospholipids and triglycerides during different phases of the menstrual cycle.
