MODIFICATION OF THE OESTROUS CYCLE OF THE MOUSE BY EXTERNAL STIMULI ASSOCIATED WITH THE MALE
Abstract
SUMMARY: 1. It has been demonstrated in three strains of mice, one heterozygous and two inbred, that the oestrous cycle, as determined by vaginal smears, was shorter in the presence of a male than when males were absent. 2. When female mice were removed from males during metoestrus the duration of the ensuing cycle was the same as that observed in the absence of males. This indicates that the effect of stimuli received during one cycle was not carried over to the next. 3. The cycle was shortened when a male was present for the 48 hr following the start of metoestrus. When the period of exposure was reduced or postponed for 24 hr after metoestrus the shortening observed was not significant. 4. When a male was placed in a basket within the female's cage pseudopregnancy was not observed, but the incidence of abnormal cycles was reduced. 5. The duration of pseudopregnancy was not altered by the presence of a male.

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.
