Mass Spectrometry Imaging of Lipids in the Scent Glands of Muskrat (<i>Ondatra zibethicus</i>) in Different Reproductive Statuses

Mass Spectrometry Imaging of Lipids in the Scent Glands of Muskrat (<i>Ondatra zibethicus</i>) in Different Reproductive Statuses

As a typical seasonal breeding animal, male muskrats have a pair of scent glands that can emit musky odor substances to attract females during the breeding period. The present study aimed to visualize the differences in the distribution of lipids in the scent glands of muskrats during their differen...
