Relationship between basal body temperature and body activity in a human following a bilateral oophorectomy.
Continuous measures of arm movement activity and basal body temperature were obtained on one female over a total of 149 days, beginning 3 months subsequent to this female's bilateral oophorectomy. Prior to the oophorectomy the subject had been menstruating regularly, and earlier data on this subject had indicated a low-order positive correlation between temperature and activity. The present results found no such correlation, lending support to the notion that at least one index of bodily activity is related to ovarian functioning.
