Background/Objectives Given their role in female reproduction, the effects of progesterone on arginine and related amino acids, polyamines and NF-kappa B p65 activation were studied across the menstrual cycle. Methods Arginine, ornithine and citrulline as well as putrescine, spermidine, spermine, and N-acetylputrescine were determined in plasma, NF-kappa B p65 activation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and progesterone in serum of 28 women at early (T1) and late follicular (T2) and mid (T3) and late (T4) luteal phase. Results Arginine and related amino acids declined from T1 and T2 to T3 and T4, while progesterone increased. At T3, arginine, ornithine, and citrulline were inversely related with progesterone. Changes (Delta T3-T2) in arginine, ornithine, and citrulline were inversely related with changes (Delta T3-T2) in progesterone. Ornithine and citrulline were positively related with arginine, as were changes (Delta T3-T2) in ornithine and citrulline with changes (Delta T3-T2) in arginine. At T2, NF-kappa B p65 activation was positively related with arginine. Polyamines did not change and were not related to progesterone. All results described were significant at P < 0.001. Conclusions This study for the first time provides data, at the plasma and PBMC level, supporting a proposed regulatory node of arginine and related amino acids, progesterone and NF-kappa B p65 at luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, aimed at successful preparation of pregnancy.
