Characterisation of androstenone metabolism in pig liver microsomes (2004)
Journal Article
Doran (nee Udovikova), O., Whittington, F. M., Wood, J. D., & McGivan, J. D. (2004). Characterisation of androstenone metabolism in pig liver microsomes. Chemico-Biological Interactions, 147(2), 141-149. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cbi.2003.12.002

Androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3-one) is a steroid pheromone produced in the testis. Excessive accumulation of androstenone together with skatole (3-methyl-indole) in the adipose tissue of some male pigs leads to "boar taint". In isolated pig hepatoc...
