Fig. 5. The behavioral effects of double AR::ERα deletion in males.

Fig. 5

a Percentage of control (AR::ERαfl/fl) and mutant (AR::ERαNesCre) males reaching ejaculation in tests 1 (naive animals) and 2 (sexually experienced animals). Data are shown as percentages. b Behavioral components of sexual behavior for control and mutant males (n = 7–11 per genotype). Latencies to mount (M), intromit (MI) and to reach ejaculation (Ej) in Tests 1 and 2; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 versus controls. c Mating duration from the first mount until ejaculation; p = 0.2 for Test1 and ***p < 0.001 for Test 2 (n = 7–11 per genotype). d Olfactory preference of sexually experienced controls and mutants (n = 7–11 per genotype) expressed as the percentage of total time spent sniffing stimuli. The effect of stimulus (#p < 0.05) is indicated. e Total number (left) and duration (right) of ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) produced by controls and mutants (n = 7–11 per genotype) in the presence of a sexually receptive female during a 4-min test. **p < 0.01 and *p < 0.05 versus control littermates. Instead stated otherwise, data are shown as means ± S.E.M. with individual values.
