A Mathematical Model of the Human Menstrual Cycle

W. J. Shack, P. Y. Tam and T. J. Lardner

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.
