The proportion of female SJL/J mice exhibiting estrus whet 2 meters downwind (6 meters per minute) from a group of 15 hybrid mi not significantly less than that of females placed directly under the males posed to their urine. The proportion of mice showing estrus when placed 2 upwind was significantly less than that of mice downwind or of mice beloii but not different from that of females remote from males. These findings sh the pheromone from male mice is volatile and further support the concep, acts through olfactory receptors.
在距离15只杂交雄鼠顺风2米处（每分钟6米）出现发情期的雌性SJL/J小鼠的比例，并不显著低于直接置于暴露于其尿液的雄性小鼠下方的雌性小鼠的比例。当置于逆风2米处时出现发情期的小鼠比例，显著低于顺风处或下方的小鼠比例，但与远离雄性的雌性小鼠比例没有差异。这些发现表明雄性小鼠的信息素是挥发性的，并进一步支持了它通过嗅觉受体起作用的概念。
