Age and isolation influence steroids release and chemical signaling in male mice
Published: Apr 16, 2014 by Steroids 2014, 83:10-16. doi: 10.1016/j.steroids.2014.01.009.
Authors: Mucignat-Caretta C, Cavaggioni A, Redaelli M, Da Dalt L, Zagotto G, Gabai G.
Young Isolated mice showed the most prominent difference in both micturition pattern and potentially active substance emission, while long term isolation resulted in a less extreme phenotype; therefore social isolation had a higher impact on young mice hormone and pheromone release.
