Characterisation of androstenone metabolism in pig liver microsomes [PDF]

open access: yesChemico-Biological Interactions, 2004
Androstenone (5 alpha-androst-16-en-3-one) is a steroid pheromone produced in the testis. Excessive accumulation of androstenone together with skatole (3-methyl-indole) in the adipose tissue of some male pigs leads to "boar taint". In isolated pig hepatocytes androstenone represses the expression of cytochrome P450IIE1 (CYP2E1), the enzyme principally ...

Acceptability of entire male pork with various levels of androstenone and skatole by consumers according to their sensitivity to androstenone [PDF]

open access: yesMeat Science, 2012
Consumer acceptability of entire male pork at eating was assessed in three experiments. The 140 consumers involved in each experiment were classified as insensitive (INSENS) to the odor of pure androstenone or sensitive perceiving it as pleasant (SENS-PLEA) or unpleasant (SENS-UNPL). Entire male pork with very low skatole and androstenone levels (LS-LA)

An international study on the importance of androstenone and skatole for boar taint: levels of androstenone and skatole by country and season [PDF]

open access: yesLivestock Science, 1999
Abstract Fat samples from 43,13 entire males taken from six European countries were measured for androstenone and skatole using rapid ELISA and colourimetric methods, respectively. The samples were collected during summer (replicate 1) and during the following winter period (replicate 2).

Androstenone and testosterone levels and testicular morphology of Duroc boars related to estimated breeding value for androstenone

Theriogenology, 2013
Androstenone and testosterone levels in Duroc boars with an estimated breeding value for androstenone (EBV(androstenone)) were followed in the period from birth to sexual maturity. The breeding value for androstenone had been estimated based on androstenone levels in 1202 Duroc boars at an age of 24 weeks. Testosterone and androstenone levels in plasma

The importance of the recruitment method for androstenone sensitivity with respect to accurate sensory evaluation of androstenone tainted meat

Food Quality and Preference, 2010
Abstract Four European sensory panels where all (38) assessors, when recruited, were able to detect dry androstenone crystals through smelling, were reclassified in terms of sensitivity using a recently developed sensitivity method based both on the assessor’s ability to detect androstenone and the spontaneous descriptor used to describe the odour ...

Norwegian consumers' acceptability of boar tainted meat with different levels of androstenone or skatole as related to their androstenone sensitivity

Meat Science, 2010
The aim of work was to study Norwegian consumers' acceptance of pork meat with different levels of skatole and androstenone. One group of androstenone sensitive consumers (N=46) and one group of non sensitive consumers (N=55) participated in a home test and evaluated 11 samples with different skatole (range 0-0.35 ppm) and androstenone (range 0-9.0 ppm)

Testicular development, androstenone levels and androstenone odour of untreated and trenbolone implanted boars

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1991
AbstractTwelve boars were implanted at 50 kg live weight with 300 mg of trenbolone acetate (TBA), and 12 male litter mates were held as controls. All animals were slaughtered at 175 days of age and ∼ 100 kg live weight. TBA administration led to a decrease in testicle size (P<0.001) and testosterone levels (P<0.05).
