Optimizing Odorants for Olfactory Training Based on Olfactory Receptor-Ligand Pair Analysis. [PDF]

Laryngoscope
This study employs receptor–ligand interaction analysis and olfactory epithelium transcriptomics to optimize olfactory training (OT). A novel four‐odorant combination (galaxolide, eugenol acetate, [−]‐menthol, geranyl acetate) activates 83.9% of 385 human olfactory receptors (ORs), covering 69.9% of estimated OR expression—significantly outperforming ...

Discovery of 16-Androstenes (Androstenone and Androstenol), Their Synthesis Pathway, and Possible Role in Reproduction of Mouse Deer (Moschiola indica)

Cells, 2022
We discovered odorous 16-androstenes (Androstenone and Androstenol) in endangered mouse deer during a captive breeding program. This study examined the molecular characteristics, their synthesis pathway, and the possible functional role of these ...

Genome‐wide population structure, homozygosity, and heterozygosity patterns of Nero Siciliano pig in the framework of Italian and cosmopolitan breeds

Animal Genetics, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 591-605, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Analysis of genomic data is becoming more and more common for the effective management of livestock breeding programmes, even in the case of local populations. In this work, the genome‐wide data of Nero Siciliano pig breed were compared to that of wild boar, Italian local and cosmopolitan breeds to investigate its genetic structure, and runs ...

Columns in analytical‐scale supercritical fluid chromatography: From traditional to unconventional chemistries

Journal of Separation Science, Volume 46, Issue 18, September 2023., 2023
Within this review, we thoroughly explored supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) columns used across > 3000 papers published from the first study carried out under SFC conditions in 1962 to the end of 2022. We focused on the open tubular capillary, packed capillary, and packed columns, their chemistries, dimensions, and trends in used stationary ...

From Molecules to Perception: Philosophical Investigations of Smell

Philosophy Compass, Volume 17, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Theories of perception have traditionally dismissed the sense of smell as a notoriously variable and highly subjective sense, mainly because it does not easily fit into accounts of perception based on visual experience. So far, philosophical questions about the objects of olfactory perception have started by considering the nature of olfactory

Immunocastration in adult boars as a model for late‐onset hypogonadism

Andrology, Volume 10, Issue 6, Page 1217-1232, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Background While immunocastration has been studied in male pre‐pubertal pigs, data on older, sexually mature animals are limited. To understand the physiological effects of androgen deprivation in the late sexual development phase, we compared mature immunocastrated boars (n = 19; average age = 480 days) to young male immunocastrated pigs (n =

Welfare of pigs on farm

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
Abstract This scientific opinion focuses on the welfare of pigs on farm, and is based on literature and expert opinion. All pig categories were assessed: gilts and dry sows, farrowing and lactating sows, suckling piglets, weaners, rearing pigs and boars. The most relevant husbandry systems used in Europe are described.

Diversity of Japanese consumers' requirements, sensory perceptions, and eating preferences for meat

Animal Science Journal, Volume 93, Issue 1, January/December 2022., 2022
Abstract Japanese consumers are generally characterized as preferring high marbling in beef and pork and choosing domestic products. However, the Japanese food market is not homogenous. Understanding the diversity of Japanese consumers will provide benefits for the optimization of meat production and distribution in Japan. This article focuses on three

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 ...

Evaluation of Deodorizing Effects of Saccharina japonica in 10‐Month‐Old ICR Mice Using a Novel Odor Marker Associated with Aging

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The potential deodorizing effects of Saccharina japonica have been evaluated by determining their deodorizing performance, but they are yet to be validated in experimental animals. The deodorizing effects of S. japonica were examined in an animal model using a novel odor marker associated with aging by comparing the concentration of odor component in ...
