“…In the present study an increase in prolactin level was observed which was more pronounced during proestrus stage with higher dose of extract. These observations are comparable with the studies made by Bronson (1976) who reported that a combination of enhanced prolactin and suppressed LH secretion in adult mice is due to prolongation of estrus cycle.…”

“…and isoflurane (Abbott, IL, U.S.A.). Immediately after ovariectomy, the females were subcutaneously implanted with silicon adhesive-sealed silicon tubes (inner diameter: 1.5 mm, outer diameter: 2.5 mm, full length: 14 mm) filled with 15 µl of 270 or 0 µg/ ml estradiol-17β dissolved in sesame oil [3,6,13]. We estimated the blood estradiol-17β level would be higher up to the 6th days after implantation compared with basal level in estrus cycle, because the release from the tube exponentially decreased according to the day with maximum on the 1st day [13] and the blood level on the 7th day was found to be equivalent to basal levels [6].…”

Estrus Cycle-Related Preference of BALB/c Female Mice for C57BL/6 Males Is Induced by Estrogen

ABSTRAcT. The odor preference of female mice for male odor is reported to have cyclical variations in relation to the estrus cycle. Females prefer the odor of genetically dissimilar males to that of genetically similar ones, but the causal relation between this preference and the estrus cycle has scarcely been investigated. The Y-maze test demonstrated that BALB/c females stayed for a longer duration near the urine of c57BL/6 males than that of BALB/c males when they were in metestrus, diestrus and proestrus, but not in estrus. The prolonged stay disappeared after ovariectomy, and administration of estradiol-17β restored the tendency. The present results suggest that the odor preference of BALB/c females for c57BL/6 over BALB/c males temporally changes according to the estrus cycle and that estrogen can be one of endogenous factors regulating this phenomenon.

“…These results show that the main olfactory system, on the contrary to the accessory system, is absolutely necessary for the detection and the integration of male olfactory cues. It is interesting to note that none of these surgical interventions affected the LH response to the male himself [19,40] (Tab. II).…”

“…It has been reported in many species that chemical signals serve as sexual attractants, and promote sexual arousal, appetitive and precopulatory postures and mating behavior (rat [14], mouse [15], hamster [16], elephant [17], rhesus macaque [18]). These chemosignals can also modify the physiology and neuroendocrine state (mouse [19], rat [20], hamster [9], prairie vole [21]). In sheep, ram fleece activates LH secretion in anestrous ewes [22].…”

-In sheep, exposure of seasonally anestrous females to the male or its fleece results in activation of luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion and synchronized ovulation. The study of the neural pathways involved in this phenomenon, commonly named "male effect", show that the main olfactory system plays a critical role in the detection and the integration of the male odor. The accessory olfactory system participates in the perception of the ram odor but does not seem necessary for the endocrine response. According to the hypothesis that the neuroanatomical differences between the two olfactory systems could be associated with different functional roles, we investigated the importance of sexual experience and learning processes in the male effect. Our results showed that female responses depend on previous sexual experience. We also demonstrated that the LH response to male odor could result from an associative learning process. The aim of the present report was to summarize our current knowledge concerning the "male effect" and in particular to clarify the role of sexual experience and learning in the processes involved in this effect.ovine / male effect / LH / olfaction / experience
