The study analyzed the dynamics of intraperitoneal body temperature in C57BL/6 mice during 39 days of uninterrupted measurements. When mice were exposed to constant illumination, the ultradian oscillations of body temperature demonstrated the rhythms with periods of 2 h, 60 min, and 12 min, which were the higher harmonics of the circadian temperature oscillations. In two mutually isolated groups exposed to constant illumination, the phases of revealed biorhythms coincided. When the mice maintained under natural illumination, the body temperature demonstrated the ultradian rhythms with the same periods, which indicated that constant illumination did not distort the parameters of ultradian biorhythms. Probably, there is an external biotropic factor with similar harmonic spectrum, which synchronizes these biorhythms.
