  • Title: A mathematical model of the human menstrual cycle.
    Author: Shack WJ, Tam PY, Lardner TJ.
    Journal: Biophys J; 1971 Oct; 11(10):835-48. PubMed ID: 5132945.
    Abstract:
    A mathematical model for the hormonal interactions of the human menstrual cycle is presented. The feedback effects of estrogen on the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are considered, including a mechanism describing the midcycle LH peak. Computer simulation with this model yields results which are periodic and in good agreement with physiological data.
