We are really excited by all the incredible articles in @chemistryworld.com women's health collection! Especially the article on workplace support for menstruation which some of our incredible team contributed towards!
Workplace support for menstruation and menopause
The chemical industry and universities are doing more to give chemists what they need to manage their menstrual health

What are the chemical triggers for menstruation? And what causes period cramps?

This graphic, a collaboration with @periodically.bsky.social, looks at the chemistry behind the menstrual cycle: bit.ly/3ZkpqMz

#ChemSky 🧪
Infographic on the chemistry of the menstrual cycle. The graphic highlights the two sub-cycles, the ovarian cycle and the uterian cycle, and the varying hormone levels during them. Follicle stimulating hormone stimulates the growth of a follicle in the ovaries. After ovulation, levels drp to prevent development of multiple follicles. Luteinising hormone triggers the release of an egg from the ovaries and starts the conversion of the follicle to a corpus luteum which is essential for establishing and maintaining pregnancy. Estrogen, produced by the ovaries, causes the uterine lining to grow and triggers the production of luteinising hormone. Low levels of estrogen and progesterone cause the top layers of the uterine lining to break down - this is menstruation. The corpus luteum releases progesterone which stimulates thickening of the uterine lining and the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins cause contractions which shed the uterine lining and cause cramps.

Very proud of my favourite chemist (and person) @charlie-likes-cats.bsky.social for passing her viva yesterday to round off a fantastic PhD! ❤️❤️
