In vivo effect of dried chicory root (Cichorium intybus L.) on xenobiotica metabolising cytochrome P450 enzymes in porcine liver

open access: yes, 2011
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are widely studied for their involvement in metabolism of drugs and endogenous compounds. In porcine liver, CYP1A2,2Aand 2E1 are important for the metabolism of skatole.Feeding chicory roots to pigs is known to decrease the ...

Aniline Dioxygenase in Rhodococcus ruber R1: Insights into Skatole Degradation

open access: yesbioRxiv
Skatole is an aromatic heterocyclic compound with a strong offensive odor, produced by microorganisms during the anaerobic breakdown of tryptophan. Skatole accumulation is linked to environmental and health issues.

Hairy, hairy quite contrary: Pollination and functional floral traits in a hirsute carrion‐scented stapeliad

open access: yesTAXON, 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.

Combined Effect of Dietary Protein, Ractopamine, and Immunocastration on Boar Taint Compounds, and Using Testicle Parameters as an Indicator of Success

open access: yesFoods, 2020
This study investigates the combined effect of immunocastration, dietary protein level (low, medium or high) and ractopamine hydrochloride supplementation (0 or 10 mg/kg) on the adipose concentrations of androstenone, skatole and indole in pigs, and ...

Concentrations of Boar Taint Compounds Are Weakly Associated with Sexual Behavior of Young Boars

open access: yesAnimals, 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.

Seasonal dynamics in terrestrial insect communities after the impact of the Brumadinho tailings dam disaster

open access: yesInsect 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

open access: yesBiological 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.

Tryptophan‐Derived Microbial Metabolite Indole‐3‐Acetic Acid Ameliorates Periodontitis Through AhR/CYP1A1‐Mediated Macrophage Polarisation

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Periodontology, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 644-655, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the association between tryptophan‐derived microbial metabolites and periodontitis, and to assess whether the differential tryptophan metabolite indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) could ameliorate periodontitis and elucidate its potential mechanism.

Feeding Jerusalem artichoke reduced skatole level and changed intestinal microbiota in the gut of entire male pigs

open access: yesAnimal, 2012
Different levels of dried Jerusalem artichoke were fed to entire male pigs 1 week before slaughter. The objective was to investigate the effect on skatole level in the hindgut and in adipose tissue, as well as the effect on microflora and short-chain ...
