Urine and preputial gland secretion of male bank voles were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) (selected ion monitoring, SIM). GC-MS analyses showed the presence of hexadecyl acetate in preputial gland secretion and in marking urine but not in metabolic urine. Female bank voles responded more strongly to marking urine of males than to metabolic urine, and they responded more to preputial gland secretion (pure or added to urine) than to metabolic urine. Dominant males spent more time and marked more frequently in response to hexadecyl acetate-enriched urine than to urine alone. The opposite reaction was shown by subordinate males. The results suggest that the acetate functions in the bank voles' dominance interactions.
用气相色谱(GC)和质谱(MS)(选择离子监测,SIM)分析了雄性林姬鼠的尿液和包皮腺分泌物。GC-MS 分析表明,包皮腺分泌物和标记尿液中存在十六酸乙酯,但在代谢尿液中不存在。雌性林姬鼠对雄性的标记尿液比对代谢尿液的反应更强烈,它们对包皮腺分泌物(纯分泌物或添加到尿液中)的反应比对代谢尿液的反应更强烈。优势雄性对富含十六酸乙酯的尿液的反应是花费更多时间和更频繁地标记,而不是仅对尿液的反应。从属雄性则表现出相反的反应。结果表明,乙酸酯在林姬鼠的优势相互作用中发挥了作用。
