Abstract

<p>Body fluid regulatory system consists of osmoregulatory and volume regulatory systems. Estrogen has an antidipsogenic effect, but estrogen’s action on osmoregulation is not fully elucidated. Body fluid volume regulation is achieved mainly by regulating sodium balance. Both estrogen and progesterone increases plasma volume; however, the mechanism for the expansion induced by estrogen and progesterone is likely different. Blood pooling and edema formation in the lower extremities are larger during luteal phase compared with other phases, suggesting that progesterone is possibly involved in the mechanism for these. However, effect of female reproductive steroids on body fluid and body fluid regulation remains unknown.</p>
