REGULATION OF THE 24H BODY TEMPERATURE RHYTHM OF WOMEN IN LUTEAL PHASE: ROLE OF GONADAL STEROIDS AND PROSTAGLANDINS

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 24 h, once in the follicular and twi...

Description
Summary: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 24 h, 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
