REGULATION OF THE 24H BODY TEMPERATURE RHYTHM OF WOMEN IN LUTEAL PHASE: ROLE OF GONADAL STEROIDS AND PROSTAGLANDINS
Open accessAbstract
An investigation into whether the rise in the 24h body temperature rhythm observed in the luteal menstrual phase is antagonized by the administration of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors has been made. Intravaginal body temperature was monitored continuously for 24h, once in the follicular and twice in the luteal phase. In the luteal phase, women were studied both without and with the simultaneous administration of a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor (lysine acetylsalicylate; 1.8 g every 6 h orally). The progesterone/estradiol ratio (measured at 17:00h each day) was related to mesor (r = 0.825; P < 0.001), acrophase (r = 0.682; P < 0.02), and amplitude (r = -0.731; P < 0.001) of the 24h body temperature rhythm. Luteal phase elevation of the progesterone/estradiol ratio was associated with a 0.32 +/- 0.07 degrees C increase in mesor (P < 0.01), a 0.11 +/- 0.02 degrees C decrease in amplitude (P < 0.001), and a 34.8 +/- 11.6 min delay in acrophase (P < 0.03) of the 24h body temperature rhythm. Prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors did not counteract these modifications. The present data shows that the modifications of the circadian parameters of the 24h body temperature rhythm observed during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle are strictly related to modifications of the progesterone/estradiol ratio, and presumably independent of prostaglandin synthesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
