Cardiovascular responses during the cold pressor test (CPT). The cold pressor stimulus elicited increases in HR, SBP, and DBP. HR responses were comparable between the sexes and between the low vs. high hormone phases of menstrual cycle. However, men demonstrated greater changes from BL in SBP and greater DBP compared with the women. *Group difference compared with BL, P < 0.05. **Difference from BL (all groups), P < 0.05. †Sex difference within stage (absolute difference), P < 0.05.
