β-cyclodextrin in personal care formulations: role on the complexation of malodours causing molecules.
Int. J. Cosmet. Sci. 37 , 438-45, (2015) The aim of this study was to prove the capability of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) to interact with some representative molecules responsible to cause body malodour, such as carboxylic acids, thiols and steroids, present in sweat and body secretions.The association c... |

Improving the odorant sensitivity of olfactory receptor-expressing yeast with accessory proteins.
Anal. Biochem. 471 , 1-8, (2015) Olfaction depends on the selectivity and sensitivity of olfactory receptors. Previous attempts at constructing a mammalian olfactory receptor-based artificial odorant sensing system in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae suffered from low sensitivity a... |

Development of a quantitative method for the simultaneous analysis of the boar taint compounds androstenone, skatole and indole in porcine serum and plasma by means of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry.
Food Chem. 187 , 120-9, (2015) Boar taint is an off-odour occurring while heating meat or fat from boars. A method detecting the three compounds (androstenone, skatole and indole) simultaneously in blood would offer substantial advantages since it would allow monitoring the impact of reari... |

The effect of skatole and androstenone on consumer response towards streaky bacon and pork belly roll.
Meat Science 110 , 52-61, (2015) Consumer liking was assessed for streaky bacon and pork belly roll from entire male pigs with an androstenone (AND) content of up to 9.4 ppm and a skatole (SKA) content of up to 0.92 ppm in the back fat and castrates. No clear effect of either AND or SKA was ... |

Differential responses to odorant analogs after recovery from nerve transection.
Physiol. Behav. 76(4-5) , 661-7, (2002) We previously found that exposure-induced increase in odor sensitivity involves, at least in part, the olfactory epithelium. We did this by exposing mice to 5 alpha-androst-16-en-3-one (androstenone) and measuring changes in the epithelium. Past research show... |

Positive relationship between menstrual synchrony and ability to smell 5alpha-androst-16-en-3alpha-ol.
Chem. Senses 25(4) , 407-11, (2000) To explore the possibility that compounds which were identified as pheromones in experimental animals mediate human menstrual synchrony, we examined the relationship between menstrual synchrony and the ability to smell putative pheromones, 5alpha-androst-16-e... |

Consumer perception of boar meat as affected by labelling information, malodorous compounds and sensitivity to androstenone.
Meat Science 93(2) , 248-56, (2013) This study aimed to assess the influence of two label conditions on the acceptance of boar meat. A central location test was conducted with 145 consumers each assessing 4 pieces of pork loin. Samples varied with respect to two factors: actual meat type (boar ... |

The effect of a c.-8G>T polymorphism on the expression of cytochrome b5A and boar taint in pigs.
Anim. Genet. 39(1) , 15-21, (2008) The level of cytochrome b5A (CYB5A) in pig testis is correlated with boar taint from androstenone and an AF016388:c.-8G>T polymorphism in CYB5A has been linked with low androstenone levels in the fat of pigs. In this study, we developed a polymerase chain rea... |

Predicting the likelihood of developing boar taint: early physical indicators in entire male pigs.
Meat Science 92(4) , 382-5, (2012) Three potential early-age predictors of which boars are likely to develop boar taint (testes volume, skin lesions and dirtiness) were measured on 102 boars every fortnight from 10 weeks of age until slaughter. These predictors were correlated with the level o... |

Testicular sulfoconjugation of the 16-androstene steroids by hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase: its effect on the concentrations of 5alpha-androstenone in plasma and fat of the mature domestic boar.
J. Anim. Sci. 83(2) , 358-65, (2005) This study examined the relationship between sulfoconjugation and the degree to which 5alpha-androstenone can accumulate in fat. Analysis of the unconjugated and sulfoconjugated fractions of peripheral plasma from 25 mature Yorkshire boars and testicular vein... |
