Golden hamster pheromone

A component of the vaginal secretion, dimethyl disulfide, was found to be the major sex attractant of the golden hamster [ 59 ]. Volatile alcohols, fatty acids and, interestingly, dimethyl trisulfide in the secretion do not appear to enhance the attractancy of the secretion [60]. However, proteins in the mass range of 15-16 kDa that are present in the vaginal secretion act as a mounting pheromone [61]. No comprehensive chemical characterization of the semiochemical secretions of golden hamsters has yet been undertaken. [Pg.252]

The first two mammalian sex pheromones that were chemically characterized are those of the domestic pig (see p. 54) and of the golden hamster. [Pg.189]

In mice, strange females or their urine increase the levels of plasma testosterone in males (Macrides etal., 1975). Experienced male golden hamsters, on the other hand, do not depend on specific pheromonal odors for this testosterone surge induced by estrous females. Other cues, possibly learned odors from a female, perceived via the main olfactory system, appear to activate the neuroendocrine refiex that results in increased testosterone release (Johnston, 2001). [Pg.219]
