Analysis of Male Pheromones That Accelerate Female Reproductive Organ Development
Male odors can influence a female's reproductive physiology. In the mouse, the odor of male urine results in an early onset of female puberty. Several volatile and protein pheromones have previously been reported to each account for this bioactivity. Here we bioassay inbred BALB/cJ females to study pheromone-accelerated uterine growth, a developmental hallmark of puberty. We evaluate the respon...
متن کاملEffect of Castration on the Reproductive Pheromones of Male Mice.
It has been stated that the male mouse retains both the Whitten effect (control of the oestrous cycle) and the Bruce effect (control of implantation) to some extent after castration (Bruce, 1959, 1960; Parkes & Bruce, 1961). Subsequent observations failed to confirm either of these early claims. Further experiments on the relation between the gonads and pheromones have now been completed. The m...
متن کاملNormal Reproductive Organ Development
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a monomer used in the manufacture of a multitude of chemical products, including epoxy resins and polycarbonate. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of BPA on male sexual development. This study, performed in CF-1 mice, was limited to the measurement of sex organ weights, daily sperm production (DSP), epididymal sperm count, and testis histopathology in ...
متن کاملMale Courtship Pheromones Induce Cloacal Gaping in Female Newts (Salamandridae)
Pheromones are an important component of sexual communication in courting salamanders, but the number of species in which their use has been demonstrated with behavioral evidence remains limited. Here we developed a behavioral assay for demonstrating courtship pheromone use in the aquatically courting Iberian ribbed newt Pleurodeles waltl. By performing an in-depth study of the courtship behavi...
متن کاملSynthetic pheromones that promote inter-male aggression in mice.
Two volatile constituents of male mouse urine, dehydro-exo-brevicomin and 2-(sec-butyl)-dihydrothiazole, have been found active in bioassays of inter-male aggressive behavior. The two synthetic compounds act synergistically when added to castrated male urine but not when added to water, and they provoke fighting that is quantitatively and qualitatively comparable to that elicited by intact male...
