Abstract

Abstract In order to investigate whether changes in basal metabolic rate (BMR) influence the basic 24‐h rhythm of body temperature we examined daily variations of body temperature in eight hyperthyroid patients and two patients with anorexia nervosa. Although they exhibited high and low BMR, respectively, they demonstrated the temperature rhythm patterns similar to those in healthy control. These results suggest that both an increased and a decreased BMR may not modify the circadian rhythm of human body temperature.
