Abstract

Changes in stress-induced salivary cortisol (sC) and state anxiety as a function of menstrual cycle phases were examined among 28 female college students. Increases in sC and state anxiety were obtained. Luteal cycle phase influenced sC increase. Findings point to the role of the menstrual cycle in sC stress response.
