claimEstrogen and progesterone have a stimulatory effect on minute ventilation (V̇E).
claimResting minute ventilation (V̇E) is higher or the same in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, when progesterone concentrations are highest, compared to the follicular phase.
claimResting minute ventilation (V̇E) responsiveness to hypoxia is sensitive to progesterone levels.
