Influence of menstrual cycle on shivering, skin blood flow, and sweating responses measured at night
Abstract
In 10 women, external cold and heat exposures were performed both in the middle of luteal phase (L) and in the early follicular phase (F) of the menstrual cycle. Serum progesterone concentrations in L and F averaged 46.0 and 0.9 nmol X l-1, respectively. The experiments took place between 3:00 and 4:30 A.M., when the L-F core temperature difference is maximal. At neutral ambient temperature, esophageal (Tes), tympanic (Tty), rectal (Tre), and mean skin (Tsk) temperatures averaged 0.59 degrees C higher in L than in F. The thresholds for shivering, chest sweating, and cutaneous vasodilation (heat clearance technique) at the thumb and forearm were increased in L by an average of 0.47 degrees C, related to mean body temperature [Tb(es) = 0.87Tes + 0.13 Tsk] and to Tes, Tty, Tre, or Tsk. The above-threshold chest sweat rate and cutaneous heat clearances at the thumb and forearm were also enhanced in L, when related to Tb(es) or time. The metabolic rate, arm blood flow, and heart rate at thermoneutral conditions were increased in L by 5.0%, 1.1 ml X 100 ml-1 X min-1, and 4.6 beats X min-1, respectively. The concomitant increase in threshold temperatures for all autonomic thermoregulatory responses in L supports the concept of a resetting of the set point underlying the basal body temperature elevation in L. The effects of the increased threshold temperatures are counteracted by enhanced heat loss responses.

In the citing paper
“Nevertheless, by insulating the auditory canal from the influence of ambient air, Hessemer and Bruck [29] were able to demonstrate very similar changes in tympanic and esophageal temperatures across the menstrual cycle.”

In the citing paper
“Core body temperature remained constantly higher in the luteal phase compared to in the follicular phase when women were exposed to a rapid decrease in air temperature (from 32°C to 12°C) that elicited shivering and an increase in metabolic rate (Figure 4; 29).”

In the citing paper
“The threshold core body temperature for heat production by shivering was 0.5°C higher in the luteal compared to the follicular phase.”

In the citing paper
“Indeed, a landmark study by Hessemer and Bruck [29] showed that there was a concomitant and almost identical change of all autonomic thermoregulatory thresholds (shivering, sweating and cutaneous vasodilation) from the early follicular to mid-luteal phase, in women exposed to environmental heating and cooling.”
From Temperature regulation in women: Effects of the menstrual cycle (2020) · cites this paper as [29]
In the citing paper
“During heat exposure, the higher core body temperature in the luteal phase is coupled with a higher core temperature threshold for heat loss effector function, including cutaneous vasodilation and sweating (Figure 4; 29,122-126).”

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.
