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 ...

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.

Consumer animal welfare and healthy perception of fresh sausages' fiber fat replaced and elaborated with meat from non-castrated male pigs. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrEntire male pork sausages reduced in fat and with vegetable fiber are positively perceived by consumers. Reduced‐fat entire male pork sausages with vegetable fiber can be an option for marketing this meat. Consumers consider castration to be justified if it improves the sensory perception of entire male pork.

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

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 ...
