Circadian rhythms control many physiological processes. One of characteristic properties of circadian rhythms is insensitivity to temperature, called temperature compensation. Although this temperature-insensitive property has repeatedly been observed mainly in circadian output rhythms, temperature effect on autoregulatory feedback loops of clock gene expression, the rhythm-generating mechanisms, has not been fully investigated.
