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.

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 ...

Inter-laboratory comparison of methods to measure androstenone in pork fat
Animal, 2011 Today, different analytical methods are used by different laboratories to quantify androstenone in fat tissue. This study shows the comparison of methods used routinely in different laboratories for androstenone quantification: Time-resolved ...

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.

The characterization of androstenone transport in boar plasma [PDF]
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2019 The transport of steroids by plasma proteins influences the amount of steroid available for uptake by the target tissue. In the boar, androstenone is transported to the adipose tissue where it accumulates to cause an off-odour or off-flavour in pork, known as boar taint.

A genome-wide association study on androstenone levels in pigs reveals a cluster of candidate genes on chromosome 6 [PDF]
BMC Genetics, 2010 Background In many countries, male piglets are castrated shortly after birth because a proportion of un-castrated male pigs produce meat with an unpleasant flavour and odour. Main compounds of boar taint are androstenone and skatole. The aim of this high-

Changes of Androstenone Concentrations in Saliva of Boars with Age [PDF]
Animals, 2022 With the increasing age of boars, the possibility of androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3-one (AND), 5α-androst-16-en-3α-ol (α-AND), and 5α-androst-16-en-3β-ol (β-AND)) occurrence increases as well. The aim of this study was to evaluate concentrations of androstenone compounds in the saliva of boars concerning the age of animals.

Pathway based analysis of genes and interactions influencing porcine testis samples from boars with divergent androstenone content in back fat. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 One of the primary factors contributing to boar taint is the level of androstenone in porcine adipose tissues. A majority of the studies performed to identify candidate biomarkers for the synthesis of androstenone in testis tissues follow a reductionist ...

Sex Differences in Response to the Odor of Alpha Androstenone [PDF]
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1990 Additional analyses of ratings by 98 male and 102 female college students assigned to one of four odor conditions showed no significant correlations for the methyl anthranilate or skatole odor conditions, but the pattern of correlations for men and women was different in the alpha androstenone condition, e.g., if men found alpha androstenone pleasant ...
