By all appearances, the study looked like a standard chemistry and psychology mashup: collect armpit sweat, identify the ...

Female body odor compounds during ovulation influence male attraction and stress levels in laboratory studies.

Pheromones are chemical signals that regulate innate behaviours between members of the same species. In mice, pup suckling, aggression and mating are all influenced by pheromones detected by ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have explored how female body odor can influence behaviors in men. They found that ...

Pheromones floated through the air, swirled in the oceans, and adhered to the ground. Some were even passed along directly, from individual to individual, like personal molecular messages.

Dec. 9, 2005 — -- Odorless pheromones are secreted by many animals to attract mates. But they're also synthesized and marketed to consumers as potions to increase sexual attractiveness. They ...

Researchers have found the first molecular clues about how a group of poorly understood chemical signals, called pheromones, enable mice to distinguish male from female. In knocking out a gene for a ...

Alarm pheromones warn animals of the same species that there is danger present, like predators, cause for injuries, or other distressing hazards. When animals pick up alarm pheromones, they react ...
