Physiological strain during exercise is increased by mild dehydration (∼ 1%–3% body mass
loss). This response may be sex-dependent, but there are no direct comparative data in this …

Background Hepcidin, the master iron regulatory hormone, has been shown to peak 3–6 h
postexercise, and is likely a major contributor to the prevalence of iron deficiency in athletes …

Purpose Menstrual cycle phase affects resting hepcidin levels, but such effects on the
hepcidin response to exercise are still unclear. Thus, we investigated the hepcidin response …

Simple Summary The present study provides new insights into the physiological changes in
iron metabolism associated with the estrus cycle in Purebred Spanish mares. Relationships …

The immune system plays an important role in mediating exercise responses and
adaptations. However, whether fluctuating hormone concentrations across the menstrual …

This study measured serum markers of iron status in naturally menstruating and oral
contraceptive (OC) athletes during the main hormonal milieus of these two profiles to identify …

Purpose We sought to determine the effects of heat acclimation on endurance exercise-
induced hepcidin elevation under hot conditions. Methods Fifteen healthy men were divided …

Measurement error (s) of exercise tests for women are severely lacking in the literature. The
purpose of this investigation was to 1) determine whether ovulatory status or ambient …

Iron metabolism research in the past decade has identified menstrual blood loss as a key
contributor to the prevalence of iron deficiency in premenopausal females. The reproductive …

Purpose Women remain underrepresented in the exercise thermoregulation literature
despite their participation in leisure-time and occupational physical activity in heat-stressful …
