Abstract
1. 1.|The influence of changes in plasma electrolytes, of the phase of the menstrual cycle, and of alcohol on operant thermoregulatory behaviour and on autonomic thermoregulation of man was investigated. 2. 2.|High plasma osmolality and hormonal changes during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle shift the threshold for both autonomic and behavioural thermoregulatory reactions to higher temperatures. Hence, a central rather than a peripheral action of both non-thermal factors is likely. 3. 3.|Alcohol in moderate doses affects only thermoregulatory behaviour and not autonomic thermoregulation, so we conclude a predominant effect of alcohol on higher neural functions concerned with thermoregulatory behaviour.
