Cycle Effects Are Not Universal: A Case Study of Urinary C‐Reactive Protein Concentrations in Rural Polish and Polish American Samples

In the Polish American sample, CRP was highest during the early follicular, specifically the first 3 days of menstruation, suggesting a potential relationship between the menstrual cycle and inflammation.
