Zusammenfassung:	The changes in the peripheral vascular response to temperature have been studied for ten menstrual cycles by calculating thermal entertainment levels. The entrainment levels exhibited peaks at around the time of ovulation, a result which we believe is due to the fluctuating levels of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone in the blood. An attempt has been made to explain the influence of these hormones on the vasomotor control system and where interactions may occur.
