Male Odor Accelerates Female Sexual Maturation in Mice
Abstract
Previous work has shown that sexual maturation of female mice is accelerated by the presence of a male. This report identifies male odor as a critical stimulatory masculine agent. Groups of females in contact with 1) an adult male, 2) with a male behind a wire mesh barrier, or 3) the odor of a male display vaginal opening and first estrus about 15 days earlier than females exposed to a castrate male, forced activity, or no male influences. The data alsosuggest that odors derived from males exposed to estrous females are more effective than odorsfrom solitary males in accelerating sexual maturation. (Endocrinology84: 658, 1969)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
