Cytochrome P450IIE1 (CYP2E1) is induced by skatole and this induction is blocked by androstenone in isolated pig hepatocytes (2002)
Journal Article
Wood, J. D., Doran (nee Udovikova), O., Whittington, F., & McGivan, J. D. (2002). Cytochrome P450IIE1 (CYP2E1) is induced by skatole and this induction is blocked by androstenone in isolated pig hepatocytes. Chemico-Biological Interactions, 140(1), 81-92. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0009-2797%2802%2900015-7

Skatole, a derivative of tryptophan, is produced in the hind-gut of pigs and is metabolised via hepatic cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1). Excessive accumulation of skatole together with androstenone, a metabolite of testosterone, in adipose tissue in some...

Patent
McGivan, J. D., Wood, J. D., Whittington, F. M., Doran (nee Udovikova), O., & Meat and Livestock Commission, N. (2002). Diagnostic assay for boar taint. WO/2002/024945

(EN) The present invention discloses a link between the level of cytochrome P450 isoform P4502E1 and the level of skatole. A polynucleotide encoding the sequence for P4502E1 and a polynucleotide encoding the sequence for P4502E1 and a polynucleotide... Read More about Diagnostic assay for boar taint.

The relationship between adipose tissue skatole levels, rates of hepatic microsomal skatole metabolism and hepatic cytochrome P450IIE1 expression in two breeds of pig (2002)
Journal Article
Doran (nee Udovikova), O., Whittington, F., Wood, J. D., & McGivan, J. D. (2002). The relationship between adipose tissue skatole levels, rates of hepatic microsomal skatole metabolism and hepatic cytochrome P450IIE1 expression in two breeds of pig. Animal Science, 74(3), 461-468

The relationships between the level of skatole in backfat, the rate of skatole metabolism in isolated liver microsomes, hepatic cytochrome P450IIE1 content and mRNA levels were investigated in Large White ✕ Landrace (LW) and the Meishan ✕ Landrace...
