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.

Expression of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, cytochrome P450-c17, and sulfotransferase 2B1 proteins in liver and testis of pigs of two breeds: Relationship with adipose tissue androstenone concentration [PDF]
, 2007 An excessive accumulation of androstenone in pig adipose tissue is a major contributor to the phenomenon of boar taint. Androstenone deposition is dependent on the rate of androstenone biosynthesis in testis and androstenone degradation in liver. The aim

PLoS ONE, 2012 Steroid metabolism is important in various species. The accumulation of androgen metabolite, androstenone, in pig adipose tissue is negatively associated with pork flavor, odour and makes the meat unfit for human consumption.

A Genome-Wide Study on the Perception of the Odorants Androstenone and Galaxolide [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2012 Twin pairs and their siblings rated the intensity of the odorants amyl acetate, androstenone, eugenol, Galaxolide, mercaptans, and rose (N = 1573). Heritability was established for ratings of androstenone (h (2) = 0.30) and Galaxolide (h(2) = 0.34) but not for the other odorants.

Microbial degradation of steroid sex hormones: implications for environmental and ecological studies
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 926-949, July 2020., 2020 Aerobic degradation of steroid hormones relies on O2 as a co‐substrate of oxygenases to activate and to cleave the recalcitrant steroidal core ring. To date, two oxygen‐dependent degradation pathways—the 9,10‐seco pathway for androgens and the 4,5‐seco pathways for estrogens—have been characterized.

Batrachopolyenes: Volatile Norsteroids from Femoral Scent Glands of Frogs
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 7, February 10, 2025.A new family of volatile steroidal natural products, the batrachopolyenes, have been isolated and identified from torrent frogs. A total synthesis established their structure. These norsteroids contain a unique contracted A‐ring and unusual functionalization across the structural core, which were installed along a divergent total synthetic sequence ...

RNA deep sequencing reveals novel candidate genes and polymorphisms in boar testis and liver tissues with divergent androstenone levels. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Boar taint is an unpleasant smell and taste of pork meat derived from some entire male pigs. The main causes of boar taint are the two compounds androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3-one) and skatole (3-methylindole).

New way of definition of an androstenon
Proceedings of the Voronezh State University of Engineering Technologies, 2019 By means of "an electronic nose" the problem of detection in salted pork fat of an androstenon is solved, even small concentration of which negatively affect consumer appeal of a product. The massif from eight differently selective gas sensors is applied to detecting of an androstenon.

Animal, 2008 The present study investigated the presence of a single-nucleotide polymorphism (G > T) at base −8 upstream of ATG in 5′ untranslated region of cytochrome b5 (CYB5A) gene in Swedish pig populations and evaluated the significance of this polymorphism for ...

Ability to smell androstenone is genetically determined. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1984 Some adult humans cannot detect the odor of androstenone (5 alpha-androst-16-en-3-one), a volatile steroid. To test for the presence of genetic variance associated with this trait, adult twins were tested for their ability to smell androstenone and another odorant, pyridine, that is readily perceived by most adults. Ascending concentration, two-sample (
