Exercise-Induced Increase in Progesterone does not Change FVC and FEV Values in Non Asthmatic Individuals

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Progesterone hormone levels increase as a result of different exercise modalities in non-menopausal sportswomen. Progesterone is also involved in dilating the airways when exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) occurs in sensitive women. Objective: To determine the effect of elevated exercise-induced progesterone levels on the respiratory airways of non-EIB-susceptible women. Methods: Eleven pre-menopausal girls were recruited. During the luteal phase of their menstrual cycles, blood and respiratory explorations were performed before and after undergoing a comprehensive stress test performed on a cycle ergometer. Progesterone was assayed, and FVC and FEV were determined. Results: The average value of serum progesterone observed after exercise (74.866 ± 24.68 Nmol / L) was significantly (p 0.5). Conclusion: Progesterone, a bronchodilator hormone, does not influence the respiratory airway in subjects that are not sensitive to bronchospasm, even though the stress test induces a high level of this hormone.
