Resting values of respiratory measures.
Follicular phase | Ovulatory phase | |
---|---|---|
VE (L/min) | 9.5 ± 2.5 | 8.9 ± 1.5 * |
RR (breaths/min) | 14 ± 5 | 15 ± 5 |
VT (mL) | 732 ± 273 | 619 ± 202 * |
PETCO2 (mmHg) | 36.8 ± 3.9 | 36.8 ± 3.2 |
RER | 0.89 ± 0.11 | 0.89 ± 0.07 |
VE: minute ventilation; RR: respiratory rate; VT: tidal volume; PETCO2: partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide; RER; respiratory exchange ratio.
