Abstract

SummaryStudies on the reproductive activity of the adult female rat indicate a marked increase in length of the estrous cycle following exposure to a low ambient temperature. Duration of both the proestrous and estrous stages was increased whereas length of the metestrous and diestrous stages was decreased. Treatment with 50 μg of thyroxine prevented the abnormal changes in the estrous cycle during exposure to cold.
