Abstract:		"Treating rats in proestro with beta-adrenergic stimulants (epinephrine and phenotherol bromhydrate) significantly increases the instances of fertile coitus. Concurrently, it induces the excretion through the urine of compounds with pheromonal action that affect males and females of the same strain, increasing their reproductive activity"
