腐胺（1，4-二氨基丁烷）和尸胺（1，5-二氨基戊烷）被确定在肛门囊分泌物的赤狐，狐狸，狮子，豹。肛门囊分泌物样品在10周内从每个囊内的6个圈养狐狸取样进行了分析和腐胺，尸胺，挥发性脂肪酸的组合物和分泌物的pH值记录。pH值（6.5-9.4）与总挥发性脂肪酸浓度呈极显著负相关（P < 0.001）。分泌成分的背景下进行了讨论的发酵假说的化学识别。仅根据挥发性脂肪酸谱的简单比较，无法将分泌物样本明确地分配给特定的狐狸。注意到在给定时间从相应的右侧和左侧囊获得的分泌物之间的成分差异。
Putrescine (1,4-diaminobutane) and cadaverine (1,5-diaminopentane) were identified in the anal sac secretions of the red fox, Vulpes vulpes, and of the lion, Panthera leo. Anal sac secretion samples obtained over a period of 10 weeks by sampling from within each sac of each of 6 captive foxes were analyzed and putrescine, cadaverine, and volatile fatty acid compositions and secretion pH values recorded. A significant (P < 0.001) negative correlation of pH (range 6.5-9.4) with total volatile fatty acid concentration was observed. Secretion compositions are discussed in the context of a fermentation hypothesis of chemical recognition. Secretion samples could not be unambiguously assigned to particular foxes on the basis of simple comparisons of volatile fatty acid profiles alone. Composition differences were noted between secretions obtained at a given time from corresponding right and left sacs.
