Skatole Metabolism in the Pigs with Reduced Testicular Oestrogen Synthesis
, 2014 Content The objectives of the study were to investigate the involvement of oestrogens in the regulation of skatole levels in pigs. In total, 44 intact male pigs, siblings from 10 litters, were included in the study.

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.Fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, and enzymatic crosslinking are emerging pre‐treatments to improve the sensory properties of extruded plant‐based meat alternatives. This review critically examines current literature to identify underlying mechanisms, benefits, and key research gaps associated with these pre‐treatments.

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Floral mimicry of decaying substrates of animal origin, such as carrion or faeces, is associated with unusual traits such as geoflory, deep maroon or yellow colouration, floral hairs and unpleasant odour, but the functional significance of these traits for attracting and manipulating pollinators has seldom been examined.

Single-Enzyme Conversion of Tryptophan to Skatole and Cyanide Expands the Mechanistic Competence of Diiron Oxidases. [PDF]
J Am Chem SocSkatole is a pungent heterocyclic compound derived from the essential amino acid l-tryptophan by bacteria in the mammalian digestive tract. The four-step anaerobic conversion of tryptophan to skatole is well-established; though, to date, no aerobic ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 634-646, May 2026.Despite severe habitat loss, insect species richness, seasonal fluctuations in richness and temporal β‐diversity did not differ significantly among forests adjacent to the mudflow and reference sites. We found higher wet‐season species richness for ants, bees, butterflies and dung beetles, while termites showed no seasonal change; β‐diversity was ...

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1036-1049, April 2026.ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.
