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

Skatole metabolites in urine as a biological marker of pigs with enhanced hepatic metabolism
Animal, 2016 Boar taint is a quality defect in meat, related to accumulation of skatole and androstenone in male pigs. The levels of skatole and its main metabolites in plasma and urine samples were measured with a validated liquid chromatography-MS method and ...

Copper(II/III) Redox Couple Enables C─H Methylation via a Radical Mechanism Analogous to SAM Enzymes
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Biological C–H methylation proceeds through radical pathways mediated by one‐electron redox cofactors, yet no synthetic model has reproduced this reactivity. Here, we report the first isolable Cu(II/III)–methyl complexes that mediate C–H methylation through hydrogen atom transfer and methyl radical rebound.

Single amino acid residue mediates reciprocal specificity in two mosquito odorant receptors
eLife, 2022 The southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus, utilizes two odorant receptors, CquiOR10 and CquiOR2, narrowly tuned to oviposition attractants and well conserved among mosquito species.

Interaction between dietary digestible tryptophan and soy oligosaccharides in broiler chickens: effects on caecal skatole level and microflora [PDF]
Animal Bioscience, 2023 Objective This study was conducted to evaluate the interactive effects of dietary digestible tryptophan (dTry) and soy oligosaccharides (SO) on growth performance, caecal skatole level, and microflora of broiler chickens aged from 14 to 42 days.

Fine mapping of a QTL affecting levels of skatole on pig chromosome 7
BMC Genetics, 2017 Background Previous studies in the Norwegian pig breeds Landrace and Duroc have revealed a QTL for levels of skatole located in the region 74.7–80.5 Mb on SSC7.

Investigation of the efficacy of immunocastration aimed at the prevention of sex odour in boar meat [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria, 2012 Disadvantage of meat known as boar taint is caused by steroids, androstenone being of particular importance, as well as indole and its derivatives, among which the best known is skatole. The common practice in Europe, in order to control these changes
