| Research Abstract |
Six low-grade fatty acids were identified from the mucus of vagina in chimpanzees and Japanese macaques. Some of them were synchronized with menstrual cycle and swelling of sexual skin. Moreover, menstrual cycle was synchronized with neighbors who live in same room in Japanese macaques. Copulation was related to secretion of estrogen and observed around ovulation period and in pregnant period in Japanese macaques.
