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.

The scents of androstenone in humans
The Journal of Physiology, 2003 Specific anosmia, the inability to detect a particular odour, has been well documented for decades in human and animal populations. Indeed, the existence of specific anosmias was a favoured argument used to support a receptor‐mediated mechanism of odourant detection prior to the molecular identification of a large family of olfactory G‐protein‐coupled ...

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Gegen Qinlian decoction (GGQLD) has a definite effect on T2DM in clinic, and it has the effect of lowering blood sugar, improving insulin resistance, and improving the blood lipid level of rats with dyslipidemia, but the intervention mechanism of GGQLD on dyslipidemia has not been clarified.

Gene expression profiles in testis of pigs with extreme high and low levels of androstenone
BMC Genomics, 2007 Background: Boar taint is a major obstacle when using uncastrated male pigs for swine production. One of the main compounds causing this taint is androstenone, a pheromone produced in porcine testis.

BMC Genetics, 2010 Background Boar taint is an unpleasant odor and flavor of the meat and occurs in a high proportion of uncastrated male pigs. Androstenone, a steroid produced in testis and acting as a sex pheromone regulating reproductive function in female pigs, is one ...

BMC Genomics, 2011 Background Boar taint is observed in a high proportion of uncastrated male pigs and is characterized by an unpleasant odor/flavor in cooked meat, primarily caused by elevated levels of androstenone and skatole.

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2011 Background Previously, in boars with extreme androstenone levels, differential expression of the CYP11A1 gene in the testes has been characterised. CYP11A1 is located in a region where a QTL influencing boar fat androstenone levels has been detected in a

IMPLEMENTATION OF GENOMIC INFORMATION IN SELECTION OF BOARS ON SKATOLE AND ANDROSTENONE CONCENTRATIONS [PDF]
Poljoprivreda, 2015 Genomic predictors offer an opportunity to overcome the limitations of classical selection against boar taint, and this study evaluated different approaches to obtain such predictors. Samples from 941 pigs were included in a design which was dominated by

Concentrations of Boar Taint Compounds Are Weakly Associated with Sexual Behavior of Young Boars
Animals, 2022 Strategies to control boar taint (BT) in meat relies on the reduction of skatole, indole, and androstenone concentration. This might have unfavorable effects on the libido of breeding boars.

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.
