From: Biosynthesis and release of pheromonal bile salts in mature male sea lamprey
Release rate (ng/hr/g-sea lamprey) of bile salts from sexually mature male sea lamprey. 3-keto petromyzonol sulfate (3kPZS), 3-keto allocholic acid (3kACA), petromyzonol sulfate (PZS), allocholic acid (ACA), and petromyzonamine disulfate (PADS) were quantified in wash-water samples taken from the whole (W) body (N = 14) and from just the head (H) region (N = 6). Different lower-case letters indicate statistically significant differences between vertical columns within each group (compound). Vertical columns indicate means + 1 SEM (vertical bars), and were compared using ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey’s HSD (α = 0.05).
