Sex attractants in male preputial gland: chemical identification and their role in reproductive behaviour of rats.

摘要

Extracts from the preputial glands of male rats were tested for pheromonal activity. Three compounds were identified, two (2,6,10-dodecatrien-1-ol,3,7,11-trimethyl (Z, E) and di-n-octyl phthalate) which attracted females and one (1,2,benzenedicarboxylic acid, diisoctyl ester) which attracted males.
