Summary Isolated studies of human growth hormone (HGH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and cortisol levels during the menstrual cycle have previously been reported in healthy Caucasian women but no similar studies have been done in Asian women. Using aliquots of basal serum samples collected daily throughout a single ovulatory menstrual cycle, we studied HGH, TSH and cortisol levels in six healthy Thai women. No specific cyclic patterns were noted.
