behavior/neurological
|
• female mice exhibit constant attraction behavior to recombinant major urinary proteins (rMUPs), in both estrus and diestrus unlike wild-type mice
|
nervous system
|
• vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs) from ovariectomized mice exhibit normal response to recombinant major urinary proteins (rMUPs), even in the presence of diestrous levels of P4
• VSNs from diestrous-staged female mice exhibit responsiveness to rMUPs across both estrus and diestrus
|
taste/olfaction
|
• vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs) from ovariectomized mice exhibit normal response to recombinant major urinary proteins (rMUPs), even in the presence of diestrous levels of P4
• VSNs from diestrous-staged female mice exhibit responsiveness to rMUPs across both estrus and diestrus
