Immunization of pigs against the boar taint steroid androstenone

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1984
Tissue 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.

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

Meat 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)

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 ...

Novel, rapid, low-cost screen-printed (bio)sensors for the direct analysis of boar taint compounds androstenone and skatole in porcine adipose tissue: Comparison with a high-resolution gas chromatographic method.

Biosensors & bioelectronics, 2019
This is the first report on the fabrication, characterisation and application of an electrochemical (bio)sensor system for the simultaneous measurement of skatole and androstenone.

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

Livestock Production 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).

A selective immunization procedure against 5α-androstenone in boars

Animal Science, 1982
ABSTRACTAn auto-immunization procedure selective for boar 5α-androstenone is described. Immunization of boars with a conjugate of androstenone and bovine serum albumin as a carrier protein significantly reduced the accumulation of androstenone in adipose tissue from a mean value of 0·77 (s.e. 0·19)mg/kg fat for untreated boars to 0·24 (s.e. 0·06) mg/kg

5α-Androstenone concentrations in sow plasma during the estrous cycle

Theriogenology, 1980
Plasma concentrations of 5alpha-androst-16-en-3-one (5alpha-androstenone), the steroid responsible for boar taint, were measured by radioimmuno-assay in eight sows during the estrous cycle. The steroid concentrations ranged from a low of approximately 500 pg/ml to a high of 2.2 ng/ml during the estrous cycle.

Changes in sensitivity to the odor of androstenone during adolescence

Developmental Psychobiology, 1989
AbstractWhile 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

Sex Differences in Response to the Odor of Alpha Androstenone

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 ...

The sulfoconjugation of androstenone and dehydroepiandrosterone by human and porcine sulfotransferase enzymes

Steroids, 2018
HighlightsThe activity of porcine and human sulfotransferases SULT2A1 and SULT2B1 were compared.Human and porcine SULT2A1 had substantially different kinetic parameters for androstenone and DHEA.Androstenone and DHEA were poor substrates for human ...
