Three components of the male yellowfin Baikal sculpin pheromonal signal have been isolated from urine by diethyl ether extraction, thinayer chromatography (TLC), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Using mass spectrometry, we have identified two of them as testosterone (T) and 11β-hydroxytestosterone (11HT). These steroids are synthesized in testes during full spermatogenesis, and they are excreted in male urine with milt. The third component is not a steroid. It is more likely to be a polyene alcohol (farnesol). 2Z,6E-Farnesol possesses behavioral activity.
从雄性黄腹白鲑的尿液中,通过乙醚萃取、薄层层析(TLC)和高效液相色谱(HPLC)分离出雄性黄腹白鲑信息素信号的三个组成部分。通过质谱分析,我们已经确定其中两种是睾酮(T)和 11β-羟基睾酮(11HT)。这些类固醇在睾丸中在完全精子发生期间合成,并与精液一起从雄性尿液中排出。第三种成分不是类固醇。它更可能是一种多烯醇(法呢醇)。2Z,6E-法呢醇具有行为活性。
