摘要: The aim of the study was to find correlations between changes in olfactory sensitivity and menstrual cycle. 14 young, healthy volunteers participated experiments. Subjects menstruated regularly did not use oral contraceptives. Three odorants were investigated: phenylethyl alcohol, androstenone, nicotine. Dilution series prepared, presented subjects order determine detection thresholds (triple forced choice). Additionally, subjects' hedonic estimates measured, mood states as well hormonal levels LH estrogen determined. Before actual experiments started, three training sessions.
