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 =

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

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 ...

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 ...

Allergens and their associated small molecule ligands—their dual role in sensitization
Allergy, Volume 76, Issue 8, Page 2367-2382, August 2021., 2021 Abstract Many allergens feature hydrophobic cavities that allow the binding of primarily hydrophobic small‐molecule ligands. Ligand‐binding specificities can be strict or promiscuous. Serum albumins from mammals and birds can assume multiple conformations that facilitate the binding of a broad spectrum of compounds.

Regulation of 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/∆5-∆4 Isomerase: A Review [PDF]
, 2013 This review focuses on the expression and regulation of 3β-hydroxysteroi ddehydrogenase/Δ5-Δ4 isomerase (3β-HSD), with emphasis on the porcine version. 3β-HSD is often associated with steroidogenesis, but its function in the metabolism of both steroids ...

Pemenone and Androstenone do not Cross-adapt Reciprocally [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 1996 Explorations of the qualitative and quantitative differences between the odors of pemenone (PEM), androstenone (AND) and isovaleric acid (IVA) show that they share a number of common perceptual characteristics. Among these are similarities in their odor quality and relative intensity ratings.
