The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of the menstrual cycle on dressing behavior in cold exposure. Rectal and skin temperatures, temperature sensation and metabolic rate were measured in seven women during the luteal (L) and the follicular (F) phases of the menstrual cycle, as was their dressing behavior in these two phases. The subjects were instructed to dress so as to feel comfortable when the ambient temperature was decreased from 30 degrees C to 15 degrees C (07:00-09:00). Most subjects dressed more quickly and with thicker clothing in the L phase. They felt cooler in the L phase during the last 30 min of the temperature fall. Rectal and skin temperatures showed significant differences between L and F phases and metabolic rate was significantly higher in the L phase. The results can be interpreted in terms of the establishment of a higher set-point in core temperature during the L phase.
本研究的目的是确定月经周期对冷暴露时着装行为的影响。在7名女性月经周期的黄体期（L）和卵泡期（F）测量了直肠温度、皮肤温度、温度感觉和代谢率，同时也观察了她们在这两个阶段的着装行为。受试者被要求在环境温度从30摄氏度降至15摄氏度（07:00 - 09:00）时进行着装，以使自己感觉舒适。大多数受试者在黄体期着装更快且衣物更厚。在温度下降的最后30分钟内，她们在黄体期感觉更冷。直肠温度和皮肤温度在黄体期和卵泡期之间存在显著差异，黄体期的代谢率显著更高。这些结果可以用黄体期核心体温设定点升高来解释。
