Reduction of Pig Agonistic Behavior by Androstenone
Journal of Animal Science, 1988One hundred twenty-four prepuberal crossbred pigs were used in a series of behavioral bioassays to determine the minimum dose of androstenone (5 alpha-androst-16-en-3-one) that would reduce the level of agonistic behavior among dyads of newly regrouped pigs. Randomly selected females and castrated males were used in 21-h videotaped observation periods.

Meat Science, 2000
The reactions of German (n=472) and Spanish (n=480) consumers of the European boar taint study to boar meat were evaluated according to their androstenone sensitivity. Consumers were checked with pure substance for their androstenone sensitivity. Eighteen per cent of the German and 31% of the Spanish participants were highly sensitive to androstenone ...

Quantitative determination of androstenone in pig adipose tissue
Journal of Chromatography A, 1986A simple, cheap and rapid method for the quantitative determination of the boar taint substance, 5 alpha-androst-16-en-3-one, in pig adipose tissue is described. After saponification of the fat the androstenone is extracted, derivatised with o-(pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine hydrochloride in pyridine and analysed by fused-silica open-tubular capillary

Changes in sensitivity to the odor of androstenone during adolescence
Developmental Psychobiology, 1989AbstractWhile it has been reported that most, if not all, very young children are able to detect the odor of 5α‐androst‐16‐en‐3‐one (androstenone), approximately 40–50% of human adults cannot detect its odor. The present study focused on changes in sensitivity to androstenone was determined in 247 subjects aged 6 to 50. There was a significant increase

Immunization against 5α-androstenone in boars
Livestock Production Science, 1985The effects of specific immunization against 5α-androstenone have been examined in large, genetically homologous groups of boars reared either to bacon weight (90–95 kg live weight) or to heavy manufacturing weight (115–120 kg live weight). At the lighter weight, immunization significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the concentration of androstenone in the ...

Enhanced Sensitivity to Androstenone Following Regular Exposure to Pemenone
Chemical Senses, 1995The responses elicited by olfactory stimuli may be modified throughout an organism's life. For example, Wysocki et al. found that regular presentations of 5a-androst-16-en-3-one (androstenone) to anosmic subjects resulted in a graded increase in the perceived intensity of this substance in about half of their subjects (Wysocki et al., 1989).

Immunization of pigs against the boar taint steroid androstenone
Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1984Tissue concentrations of androstenone were measured in untreated control pigs and pigs immunized against 5 alpha-androst-16-en-3-one. Results confirmed that active immunization of male pigs against androstenone is unlikely to prevent the problem of "boar taint" in the carcass meat.

Steroids, 2018
Porcine sulfotransferase 2A1 (pSULT2A1) is a key enzyme involved in the testicular and hepatic sulfoconjugation of steroids such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and potentially androstenone. This latter steroid is a major cause of boar taint, which is an unpleasant off-odour and off-flavour in pork from male pigs.

Male Sexual Orientation Affects Sensitivity to Androstenone
Chemosensory Perception, 2009Androstenone has often been discussed as a human social chemosignal, as it is one of the major contributing substances to the human body odor for which humans possess specific receptors. Here, we investigated whether male sexual orientation influences the perception of androstenone.

Absence of HLA association or linkage for variations in sensitivity to the odor of androstenone
Immunogenetics, 1982Sensitivity to the odor of 5-androst-16-en-3-one (androstenone), a testosterone metabolite, shows wide variations among unrelated individuals. Analysis of correlations in sensitivity between monozygotic twin pairs, dizygotic twin pairs, and nontwin sib pairs now shows that at least a portion of this variation is genetically determined.
