To establish age-stratified reference values for salivary luteal P levels.
One hundred thirty-six regularly menstruating women (18 to 48 years of age), screened for weight, exercise, and steroid medication use, collected daily saliva samples for one complete menstrual cycle. Luteal P levels were measured by 3H-RIA, and data were aligned by day of next menstrual onset. Means (+/- 1 SD range) and percentiles, calculated using both untransformed and log transformed data, were calculated for each luteal day and for indices of luteal P production.
Reference values for salivary daily luteal P levels and indices of luteal P are presented for three age groups (18 to 24 years, 25 to 39 years, and 40 to 48 years).
The age-stratified reference values presented here can be used, without collateral clinical procedures, to assess salivary luteal P levels. Salivary monitoring is ideally suited for research and long-term clinical observation, but the characteristics of salivary P data may limit the usefulness of these values for individual diagnosis.
建立唾液黄体期孕酮水平的年龄分层参考值。
136名规律月经的女性(18至48岁),对体重、运动和类固醇药物使用情况进行筛查,在一个完整的月经周期内每日采集唾液样本。采用3H放射免疫分析法测定黄体期孕酮水平,并根据下次月经来潮日期对齐数据。计算每个黄体期以及黄体期孕酮产生指标的均值(±1标准差范围)和百分位数,数据计算分别使用未转换数据和对数转换数据。
给出了三个年龄组(18至24岁、25至39岁、40至48岁)唾液每日黄体期孕酮水平及黄体期孕酮指标的参考值。
此处给出的年龄分层参考值可用于评估唾液黄体期孕酮水平,无需额外的临床检查。唾液监测非常适合研究和长期临床观察,但唾液孕酮数据的特点可能会限制这些值在个体诊断中的实用性。
