Popis: To measure core body temperature by ingested radiotelemetry pill and rectal temperature during menopausal hot flushes under controlled laboratory conditions.Patients were recorded during sleep using both methods in a sound-proofed, temperature and humidity-controlled laboratory room.University medical center.Eight postmenopausal women who were amenorrheic foror = 1 year and reported frequent hot flushes.Thirty-seven hot flushes were detected by criterion increases in sternal skin conductance level. Significant increases in telemetered but not rectal temperature occurred before 24 of the hot flushes.Core body temperature elevations precede a majority of menopausal hot flushes and serve as one trigger of this heat-loss phenomenon.
