Abstract
In fifty healthy adolescent girl volunteers serum calcium, magnesium and inorganic phosphorus
were estimated serially during various menstrual phases. The result shows significant cyclic variations
within physiological limits. Serum calcium was highest during ovulatory phase (p<O.OO I) and lowest
during luteal phase (p<O.OO 1) as compared to other phases. The levels of serum magnesium were
observed in opposite direction. It was highest during menstrual phase and lowest during ovulatory
phase (p<O.OO 1). The highest levels of inorganic phosphrous were seen in menstrual phase as
compared to other phases (p<O.OO I). The influence of cyclic variations of the ovarian hormones
probably results in these changes.
