Effect of Menstrual Cycle Phase on Post-Exercise Iron and Hepcidin Response
04 April 2019
We are investigating whether responses to exercise change over the female menstrual cycle, specifically looking at iron status, hepcidin (an iron regulator hormone) and markers of inflammation.
If you're interested in taking part, you will be invited to complete 4 laboratory visits in total, including 2 main exercise trial visit days where blood samples will be collected.
We can provide you information about your exercise level and guidance on your training, plus information about your iron.
