Abstract 7
7. Salivary estradiol & progesterone during the normal ovulatory
menstrual cycle in Chinese women. Y.F. Wong (1), K. Mao (1), N.S. Panesar
(2), E.P.L. Loong (1), A.M.Z. Chang (1) and ZJ. Mi (3) (1) Department
of Obstetrics and Gynecology and (2) Department of Chemical Pathology,
The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Prince of Wales Hospital, Shain,
Hong Kong, and Shanghai Institute of Endocrinology, Shanghai, Peoples
Republic of China. Summary: Salivary and serum levels of estradiol and
progesterone were measured by radioimmunoassay in 10 Chinese women during
their normal menstrual cycles. Changes in salivary estradiol and progesterone
levels followed a similar pattern to that in the serum. Significant correlation
was found between salivary and serum levels of estradiol and progesterone
(p>0.001). Measurements of these salivary steroids may be used to assess
follicular dynamics. Moreover, salivary sampling is simple, convenient
and stress free. (Figure 1-to be added)
