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.

The Effect of Dietary Helianthus tuberosus L. on the Populations of Pig Faecal Bacteria and the Prevalence of Skatole

Animals, 2020
Jerusalem artichoke contains inulin polysaccharide, which has prebiotic effects and influences the microbiota of the digestive tract. The addition of Jerusalem artichoke in boar diets may decrease the content of skatole and indole, which are the main ...

Interaction of Skatole and Androstenone in the Olfactory Perception of Boar Taint

, 2016
This study analyzed odor–odor interactions of two malodorous volatile substances, androstenone and skatole, that may accumulate in fat and meat of uncastrated male (boar) pigs.

Natural Product Skatole Ameliorates Lipotoxicity-Induced Multiple Hepatic Damage under Hyperlipidemic Conditions in Hepatocytes

, 2023
Skatole (3-methylindole, 3MI) is a natural-origin compound derived from plants, insects, and microbial metabolites in human intestines. Skatole has an anti-lipid peroxidation effect and is a biomarker for several diseases.

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

Journal 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.

Gut microbiome‐derived metabolites show promise in cancer research and therapy

Interdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 2, March 2026.
The metabolites produced by the gut microbiome, which are subject to regulation by multiple factors, play a pivotal role in the progression of various types of cancer. These metabolites not only function as potential biomarkers for the early detection and monitoring of tumor development, but also actively participate in cancer therapeutic processes ...

Hepatic Gene Expression and Metabolite Profiles of Androstenone and Skatole Relative to Plasma Estrone Sulfate Levels in Boars

Biomolecules
Testicular steroids can alter the activity and expression of enzymes within the liver and may influence the metabolism of skatole and androstenone, which are responsible for boar taint.

Weight and season affects androstenone and skatole occurrence in entire male pigs in organic pig production

Animal, 2015
To investigate the extent to which the level of androstenone and skatole decreases with a decrease in live weight and/or age at slaughter of entire male pigs produced under organic standards, 1174 entire male pigs were raised in parallel in five organic ...

Assessing boar taint in Portuguese pork: A small-scale study of prevalence and classification via established detection thresholds

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research
Aim of study: To assess the boar taint prevalence in the Portuguese pork industry through an observational study model by measuring skatole and androstenone levels in fat and to compare it with the estimated thresholds for these compounds among ...
