Abstract: The studies performed in this work confirm and extend the results of previous studies on the aggression-promoting cues of mice. The results of behavioral studies performed in Experiment 1 confirmed previous reports of the androgen dependency of the aggression-promoting cues of male mice. In Experiment 3, a lipophilic aggression-promoting cue was detected in extracts prepared from bladder urine of male mice. At the same time, a series of experiments performed on the preputial gland of male mice have established that at least two aggression-promoting cues are present in this sebaceous gland. Finally, it has been shown that a wax ester, tetradecyl decanoate, can function as an aggression-promoting chemosignal for male mice under the conditions of the behavioral paradigm employed in this work.
