Kline JP, Schwartz GE, Dikman ZV. Interpersonal defensiveness and diminished perceptual acuity for the

odor of a putative pheromone: Androstenone. Biol Psychol. 2007 Mar;74(3):405-13.

Key Issue: The pattern of

associations with androstenone sensitivity is sexually dimorphic. Dislike for androstenone has been associated with

sensitivity to it in women, but not in men . This suggests that the quality and degree of perception of androstenone

may manifest quite differently for women and men. The nature of these sex differences is poorly understood.
