Induction of estrus in grouped female mice (Mus domesticus) by synthetic analogues of preputial gland constituents.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two major volatile constituents of the male mouse preputial gland, E,E-alpha-farnesene and E-beta-farnesene, were examined for their role in inducing estrous cycles in grouped female mice. The results indicated that the mixture of the farnesenes was as effective as the homogenate of the intact preputial gland, while the extract of the castrate preputial tissue did not show a pronounced response.

Social regulation of reproduction in the female mound-builder mouse (Mus spicilegus).
Social environment influences the reproductive physiology and sexual behaviour of the female house mouse Mus musculus. An all-female environment tends to suppress the oestrous cycles, whereas the presence of a male induces and synchronises sexual receptivity. However, reproductive responses to social environment may differ among the various species of rodents. In mound-builder female mice, Mus ...
متن کاملAlteration of Rodent Estrous Cycle Length following Intraperitoneal Administration of Exogenous Oxytocin to Neonates
Oxytocin (OT) possesses uterotonic and galactopoietic properties. To the best of the knowledge, the relevant data regarding to the estrous cyclicity was scared. The present study investigates the chronic effect of low dose OT on estrous cyclicity in detail by using rodent model albino mice. Twelve immature female mice, Mus musculus weight 8±2g were divided into 2 groups as control (n=6) and tre...
متن کاملDoes Monosodium Glutamate Induce Obesity in Female Mice?
Objective: Female metabolism is highly responding towards diet associated changes. Monosodium glutamate is a popular flavor enhancer, which is widely used to develop umami taste. Young female generation nowadays deals with more issues related to metabolism and fertility. Present study is an effort to monitor the effect of monosodium glutamate oral consumption on female mice health and obesity. ...
متن کاملMolecular genetics of androgen-inducible RP2 gene transcription in the mouse kidney.
Androgen control of the RP2 gene in the mouse kidney has been modified during evolution. In inbred mice (Mus domesticus), the concentrations of mRNAs encoded by RP2 undergo a 10- to 12-fold induction in response to testosterone; in other Mus species (e.g., Mus hortulanus and Mus caroli), induction ranges from none to about two- to fourfold. In this communication, we show that androgens induced ...
