The rectal temperature (Tr) and heart rate (HR) of three groups of New Zealand white rabbits, i. e. thyroidectomized (G1), thyroidectomized and treated with Chinese herbs (a decoction composed of tonifying kidney-yang herbs) (G2) and pseudothyroidectomized for control (G3), were observed dynamically for 26 hours. The results indicated that the Tr and HR in G1 were decreased, and the circadian rhythms of the Tr and HR disordered significantly, while these changes in G2 were corrected obviously.
