Whitney E. Boesel: Cholesterol Variability Across Postpartum Menstrual Cycles
This might be the first project to look at what human cholesterol does over a regular menstrual cycle at high temporal resolution.
— Whitney Erin Boesel
Basic information about how cholesterol changes across the menstrual cycle is missing from scientific literature. Here, Whitney shows her own data, which indicates that a regular menstrual cycle can carry an individual across a very wide range of cholesterol values. Over five months, Whitney’s cholesterol both dropped and gained monthly oscillations as she returned to regular menstrual cycling while breast feeding her daughter.
