Effect of sex steroids on expression of sulfotransferase 2B1 immunoreactive protein in primary cultured porcine hepatocytes (2008)
Journal Article
Panella-Riera, N., Moe, M., Grindflek, E., Oliver, M. A., Wood, J. D., & Doran, O. (2008). Effect of sex steroids on expression of sulfotransferase 2B1 immunoreactive protein in primary cultured porcine hepatocytes. Livestock Science, 118(3), 223-230. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.livsci.2008.01.021

An excessive accumulation of androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3-one) in pig adipose tissue is one of the two major contributors to the phenomenon of boar taint. High levels of adipose tissue androstenone have been related to a low rate of hepatic andro...

Effect of testosterone, estrone sulphate and androstenone on 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase protein expression in primary cultured hepatocytes (2008)
Journal Article
Nicolau-Solano, S. I., & Doran, O. (2008). Effect of testosterone, estrone sulphate and androstenone on 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase protein expression in primary cultured hepatocytes. Livestock Science, 114(2-3), 202-210. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.livsci.2007.05.001

Androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3-one) is a steroid pheromone, excessive accumulation of which in pig adipose tissue contributes to the phenomenon of "boar taint". The incidence of boar taint increases with age and weight of entire male pigs. One of t...

Regulation of CYP2A6 protein expression by skatole, indole, and testicular steroids in primary cultured pig hepatocytes (2008)
Journal Article
Wood, J. D., Chen, G., Cue, R. A., Lundstrom, K., & Doran, O. (2008). Regulation of CYP2A6 protein expression by skatole, indole, and testicular steroids in primary cultured pig hepatocytes. Drug Metabolism and Disposition, 36(1), 56-60. https://doi.org/10.1124/dmd.107.017285

CYP2A6 is one of the enzymes involved in the hepatic metabolism of a naturally produced compound, skatole, in the pig. Low CYP2A6 activity has been linked to excessive accumulation of skatole in pig adipose tissue and development of the phenomenon "b...
