 | | Shinohara, Morofushi, Funabashi, and Kimura [45] showed that axillary pheromones from women either in the follicular or in the ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle differentially modulate pulsatile LH pulse frequency in other women, a hormonal effect. |
 | | Preti, Wysocki, Barnhart, Sonheimer and Leyden [46] recently showed that male axillary extracts effect LH and mood in female recipients, and suggested that the LH response may be used to determine precisely what compound is involved in this pheromonal effect, which is a typical mammalian female response to pheromones from a male conspecific [14]. |
 | | For example, Jackman and Noble [52] investigated the axillary bacteria of 163 male and 122 female subjects and were able to show that in most men the axillae were dominated by the bacteria Corynebacteria ssp., whereas in women they found the bacteria Micrococcaceae. |
