Enhanced HPLC Method for Boar Taint Quantification [PDF]
ChemistryOpenBoar taint is an unpleasant odour found in the carcasses of entire male pigs, resulting from androstenone and skatole accumulation during pubertal development, and impacting pork quality.

Impact of Androstenone on Leash Pulling and Jumping Up in Dogs [PDF]
Animals, 2016 Dogs are relinquished to shelters due to behavioral problems, such as leash pulling and jumping up. Interomones are chemical cues produced by one species that elicit a response in a different species.

INSL3 Expression in Leydig Cells is a Biomarker for Immunocastration in Boars: Transcriptional Evidence. [PDF]
AndrologyABSTRACT Background Study aimed to obtain insights into physiological responses to immunocastration in pubertal boars by evaluating effects of alternative vaccination protocols and identifying a reliable immunocastration biomarker. Objectives It was hypothesized that the timing of gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) suppression by immunocastration ...

Antimelanoma activities of chimeric thiazole–androstenone derivatives [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 The discovery of chimeric anti-melanoma agents is reported. These molecules are potent growth suppressors of melanoma cells in vitro with growth inhibition of 50% (GI 50 ) values as low as 1.32 µM. Compounds were more toxic to melanoma cells in vitro than commonly used

The Binding of Free and Sulfated Androstenone in the Plasma of the Boar
Animals, 2021 Androstenone circulates in the plasma bound to albumin before accumulating in the fat, resulting in the development of boar taint. Androstenone sulfate is more abundant in the circulation than free androstenone; however, it is unclear how androstenone ...

Political attitudes vary with detection of androstenone [PDF]
Politics and the Life Sciences, 2020 AbstractBuilding on a growing body of research suggesting that political attitudes are part of broader individual and biological orientations, we test whether the detection of the hormone androstenone is predictive of political attitudes. The particular social chemical analyzed in this study is androstenone, a nonandrogenic steroid found in the sweat ...

The Uptake and Deconjugation of Androstenone Sulfate in the Adipose Tissue of the Boar
Animals, 2021 Boars express high testicular levels of sulfotransferase enzymes, and consequently, the boar taint causing compound androstenone predominantly circulates as a steroid sulfate.

Animals, 2021 Androstenone influences the changing behaviors of animals. Previous studies discovered that an androstenone receptor was expressed in horses and treatment with androstenone induced horses to be more compliant.

The Prevalence of Androstenone Anosmia [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2003 It has been estimated that approximately 30% of the population is unable to detect the odor of androstenone. These estimates, however, were made using tests and criteria optimized for identifying detection. Such criteria favor Type II over Type I errors--that is, they are excellent at identifying true detectors at the cost of erroneously labeling some ...

Genetic variation of an odorant receptor OR7D4 and sensory perception of cooked meat containing androstenone. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Although odour perception impacts food preferences, the effect of genotypic variation of odorant receptors (ORs) on the sensory perception of food is unclear.
