A–C, Effect of bilateral VNO removal (VNOx) or sham operation (VNOi) on the percentage of female mice showing mounting (A), the number of mounts (B), and the number of pelvic thrusts (C) shown toward an estrous female versus a castrated, urine-swabbed male when presented individually in separate tests in each subject's home cage in experiment 3. Endocrine treatments for each test are given across the x-axis. *Two-way ANOVAs followed by Student–Newman–Keuls post hoc tests revealed an effect of TP treatment on both mounting and pelvic thrusting frequency that was equivalent in both VNOi and VNOx females.
