| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to determine thermogenic pathways of progesterone in female rats. Rectal temperatures were measured, but values were a lack of stability. Therefore, an implantable thermometer was utilized. To study whether progesterone induces thermogenesis, progesterone was subcutaneously injected or a progesterone-containing silicon tube was implanted in ovariectomized rats. Progesterone did not affect body temperatures. Our results did not coincide with previous studies. We will try other methods and study effects of its metabolite on thermogenesis.
