We studied a sighted woman with premenstrual syndrome who showed menstrual changes in circadian rhythms. She showed alternative phase shifts in the sleep rhythm in the menstrual cycle: progressive phase advances in the follicular phase and phase delays in the luteal phase. Rectal temperature rhythm also showed similar menstrual changes, but the phase advance and delay started a few days earlier than changes in sleep-wake rhythm so that the two rhythms were dissociated around ovulation and menstruation. These results suggest that her circadian rhythms in sleep and temperature are under the control of ovarian steroid hormones and that these two rhythms have different sensitivity to the hormones.
我们研究了一名患有经前综合征的视力正常女性,她的昼夜节律出现了月经周期变化。在月经周期中,她的睡眠节律呈现交替的相位变化:卵泡期睡眠节律逐渐提前,黄体期则延迟。直肠温度节律也呈现出类似的月经周期变化,但相位提前和延迟比睡眠-觉醒节律的变化早几天开始,因此在排卵和月经期间,这两种节律相互分离。这些结果表明,她的睡眠和体温昼夜节律受卵巢甾体激素的控制,并且这两种节律对激素的敏感性不同。
