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.

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.

Effect of feeding fermentable fibrerich feedstuffs on meat quality with emphasis on chemical and sensory boar taint in entire male and female pigs [PDF]
, 2008 Skatole, androstenone and other compounds such as indole cause boar taint in entire male pork. However, female pigs also produce skatole and indole. The purpose of this experiment was to minimise boar taint and increase overall impression of sensory ...

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.

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.

Olfaction scaffolds the developing human from neonate to adolescent and beyond [PDF]
, 2020 The impact of the olfactory sense is regularly apparent across development. The foetus is bathed in amniotic fluid that conveys the mother’s chemical ecology.

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 ...

Journal of Animal Science, 2021 Abstract Boar taint is an off-odour or off-flavour that develops in heated pork products from entire male pigs, which is caused by the accumulation of androstenone, a sex pheromone, in the fat. However, we have previously demonstrated that a significant amount of androstenone undergoes sulfoconjugation upon synthesis in the Leydig cells ...

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 ...
