Coital behavior in dogs: effect of estrogen on mounting by females.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Female dogs mounted other females more frequently when the 2nd bitch was in estrus, but the hormonal state of the mounting individual had little influence upon mount frequency; estrogen rendered a female more pro vocative or stimulating and more cooperative or receptive to mounting by another dog. During heterosexual tests estrous females tended to mount males selectively, responding readily to some masculine partners and never mounting others; in limited tests anestrous females did not mount males. Estrogen facilitated expression of specific feminine copulatory reactions and increased tendencies to display various positive social responses to dogs of either sex. Whether or not the hormone dire · cUy enhanced the female's tend ency to mount a conspecific partner was not determined.

Coital behavior in dogs. IV. Effects of progesterone in the bitch.
For a number of years it has been the practice in our laboratory to prepare female dogs for mating tests with males by injecting them with estradiol benzoate.1 The standard treatment has consisted of giving two intramuscular injections spaced 48 hours apart. Each injection contains 0.38 mg/kg of hormone. Females usually are ready to accept the male 2-3 days after the second injection and tend t...

متن کاملOptimal characteristics determination of engine mounting system using TRA mode decoupling with emphasis on frequency responses
It is possible to improve vehicle vibration by tuning the parameters of engine mounting system. By optimization of mount characteristics or finding the optimal position of mounts, vibration of the engine and transmitted force from the engine to the chassis can be reduced. This paper examines the optimization of 6-degree-of-freedom engine mounting system based on torque roll axis (TRA) mode deco...
متن کاملEffect of prenatal androgen receptor antagonist or aromatase inhibitor on sexual behavior, partner preference and neuronal Fos responses to estrous female odors in the rat accessory olfactory system.
Many socially relevant odors are detected in rodent species by the vomeronasal organ and subsequently processed by the accessory olfactory system (AOS). We previously found that gonadectomized male and female rats treated in adulthood with testosterone propionate (TP) showed equivalent Fos responses in the AOS to odors derived from estrous females. Likewise, in contrast with numerous other mamm...
