Androstenone´s physiological role in pigs [PDF]

, 2010
It is mainly high levels of androstenone and skatole in adipose tissue that is the reason behind boar-taint, which is an unpleasant odor and taste from the meat of adult male boars.

Raising Entire Males for Pork Production: Impact of Androstenone on Behaviour and Meat Quality

, 2021
Castration of male piglets reduces aggressive and sexual behaviours and diminishes boar taint, a meat quality issue caused by the hormone androstenone. This research investigated the ability to predict fat and plasma androstenone development using early ...

Hypothetical network visualizing the proposed difference maintaining and regulating steroidogenesis and androstenone biosynthesis in high and low androstenone boars.

, 2014
Legend: Circular nodes: genes, hexagonal nodes: enriched pathways, diamond nodes: pathways that might be involved in steroidogenesis, but not found in results, rectangular nodes: metabolites from pathways.

Consumer animal welfare and healthy perception of fresh sausages’ fiber fat replaced and elaborated with meat from non‐castrated male pigs

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 12, Issue 9, Page 6720-6734, September 2024.
Entire 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.

Genetic and metabolic aspects of androstenone and skatole deposition in pig adipose tissue: A review (Open Access publication)

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2008
High levels of androstenone and skatole in fat tissues are considered the primary causes of boar taint, an unpleasant odour and flavour of the meat from non-castrated male pigs.

Developing and Understanding Olfactory Evaluation of Boar Taint

Animals, 2020
Trained expert panels are used routinely in boar taint research, with varying protocols for training of panelists and scoring methods. We describe a standardized process for training and scoring, to contribute to standardize the olfactory detection of ...

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

, 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

Effect of androstenone or androstenone in combination with β-estradiol on 17βHSD7 gene expression in HepG2 cell line and pig primary hepatocytes.

, 2012
The data were normalized with HPRT housekeeping gene. Treatments: 1A = 1 nM androstenone, 1A +10E2 = 1 nM androstenone +10 nM β-estradiol, 10A = 10 nM androstenone, 10A +10E2 = 10 nM androstenone +10 nM β-estradiol, 100A = 100 nM androstenone, 500A = 500

Roles of the main olfactory and vomeronasal systems in the detection of androstenone in inbred strains of mice

Current Zoology, 2010
We investigated the role of the main olfactory and accessory olfactory systems (MOS and AOS respectively) in the detection of androstenone. We used the following experimental approaches: behavioral, surgical removal of the vomeronasal organ (VNX ...

Effect of faecal soiling on skatole and androstenone occurrence in organic entire male pigs

Animal, 2015
Production of entire male pigs could be a future strategy for organic pig production. However, production of entire males leads to increased risk of carcasses with elevated boar taint levels.
