    Chem Senses 38:57-65. 2013
    ..The mice were similarly confused when confronted with citral (90 ppm) or limonene (3000 ppm). This study is the first to show that citrus odorants can mask the odor of DS, altering the behavioral responses of trained odor sensor mice...

    Kazumi Osada
    Department of Oral Physiology, School of Dentistry, Health Sciences University of Hokkaido, Ishikari Tobetsu, Hokkaido 061 0293, Japan
    Biosci Biotechnol Biochem 76:1781-4. 2012
    ..A series of tests revealed that the female mice preferred voided urine odors from aged mice over those from younger adult mice. However, exogenous citronellal directly inhibited the advantage of the aged males with regard to attraction...
  3. ncbi The identification of attractive volatiles in aged male mouse urine
    Kazumi Osada
    Department of Oral Biology, Division of Physiology, School of Dentistry, Health Sciences University of Hokkaido, Ishikari Tobetsu, Hokkaido 061 0293, Japan
    Chem Senses 33:815-23. 2008
    ..Our results suggest that inbred aged male mice develop an aging odor that is attractive to female mice in an experimental setting and that this attraction is due to increased mouse pheromone signaling...
