3α-Hydroxy-5α-androst-16-ene and 5α-androst-16-en-3-one were isolated from the subcutaneous adipose tissue of swine and identified (Fig. la, b). These steroids, when excreted or secreted, could function as sex pheromones and initiate the olfactory communication stimulus regulating the mating behaviour of the domestic pig (Sus domesticus) (Signoret & du Buisson, 1961). Other researchers (Lerche, 1936; Craig, Pearson & Webb, 1962) have already established that a particularly strong sex odour (variously described as musk-, perspiration- and urine-like) was associated with the fatty tissues of the animal carcass. Even though the odoriferous, musksmelling androstenols have been isolated from the testis (Prelog & Ruzicka, 1944), adrenal (Gower & Ahmad, 1966) and salivary glands (Patterson, 1968b) of the pig, they have not been identified as components of fatty or adipose tissue. Stimulated by our theoretical prediction (Sink, 1967) that 3α-hydroxy-5α-androst-16-ene should be present, and Patterson's subsequent finding (Patterson, 1968a) of the oxidized form,

SUMMARY

The metabolic clearance rate (MCR) of porcine calcitonin in six gilts was 13·0 ± 0·7 (s.e.m.) ml/min/kg and in four isolated, perfused pig livers was 16·1 ± 1·1 ml/min, with constant infusions of porcine calcitonin and measurement of calcitonin concentration by radioimmunoassay.

After single injections of 125I-labelled porcine calcitonin, the MCR of 125I-labelled porcine calcitonin was 29·2 ± 2·8 ml/min in six isolated, perfused pig livers.

125I-labelled salmon calcitonin was cleared at a slower rate than porcine calcitonin after single injections into the gilt. 125I-Labelled human calcitonin and 125I-labelled salmon calcitonin were not significantly cleared by the isolated, perfused pig liver.
