We prove several inequalities on the determinants of sublattices in LLL-reduced bases. They generalize the fundamental inequalities of Lenstra, Lenstra, and Lovasz on the length of the shortest vector, and show that LLL-reduction finds not only a short vector, but also sublattices with small determinants. We also prove new inequalities on the product of the norms of the first few basis vectors.
