Abstract

In order to describe circadian temperature rhythms in relation to female ovulatory cycles, a study was conducted in which continuous rectal temperature was monitored in healthy women at two phases of their menstrual cycles. Results indicate that, in addition to an increase in the mesor, there is a significant dampening of the temperature amplitude during the luteal (postovulatory) phase compared to the follicular (preovulatory) phase. In comparison with studies of male subjects, the average acrophase for females may occur about 2 hr earlier. Results from this study provide descriptive normative data, controlling for menstrual cycle phase, to which female clinical populations can be compared. The use of circadian tempera ture rhythm as a possible noninvasive diagnostic indicator of ovulation is also discussed.

During the luteal phase compared with the follicular phase, the amplitude of the circadian variation of core body temperature is significantly reduced, mainly owing to a blunted nocturnal decline.
“as well as a significant reduction in the amplitude of the circadian variation of CBT [35–38], owing mainly to a blunted nocturnal decline of CBT.”

CBT circadian amplitude is reduced during the luteal phase.
“Mean levels are increased (particularly during night time hours) [35, 36] and the circadian amplitude is reduced [35–38] during LP.”

Most studies that confirmed ovulatory cycles found that the nocturnal decline in core body temperature is blunted, reducing the amplitude of the daily temperature rhythm in the luteal phase compared with the follicular phase.
“the nocturnal decline in core body temperature is blunted, reducing the amplitude of the daily temperature rhythm in the luteal phase compared with the follicular phase (Figure 2; 35,65-75).”

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.
