TranscriptomicsGene expression profiles in liver of pigs with extreme high and low levels of androstenone.
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Boar taint is the unpleasant odour and flavour of the meat of uncastrated male pigs that is primarily caused by high levels of androstenone and skatole in adipose tissue. Androstenone is a steroid and its levels are mainly genetically determined. Studies on androstenone metabol...

TranscriptomicsGene expression profiles in testis of pigs with extreme high and low levels of androstenone.
Boar taint is a major obstacle when using uncastrated male pigs for swine production. One of the main compounds causing this taint is androstenone, a pheromone produced in porcine testis. Here we use microarrays to study the expression of thousands of genes simultaneously in testis of high and low a...
