Villemure C, Bushnell MC. The effects of the steroid androstadienone and pleasant odorants on the mood and pain
perception of men and women. Eur J Pain. 2007 Feb;11(2):181-91.
4,16-androstadien-3-one = ANDRO and 250 uM in
propylene glycol was used in this study.
"We observed an unexpected increase in pain intensity ratings,
predominantly in women, when ANDRO was present."
Now we have published studies that collectively link
androstadienone to the cortisol response, mood, pain perception, and arousal of women--as well as previous studies
that proposed this compound acts via a human VNO.
Does anyone want to attempt to integrate the findings in a
comprehensive review?
