在三个实验中，对假定的人类信息素雄甾二烯酮的敏感性的个体差异进行了研究。在实验1中，使用恒定刺激的方法确定雄甾二烯酮的绝对检测阈值为211 μ M。还研究了相关化合物雌三烯醇的检测，但无法确定阈值。在实验2中，使用自适应阈值测试100名参与者，androstadienone的敏感性分布，但不是参考气味苯乙醇，是双峰，与一个较小的群体的个人具有高敏感性androstadienone（supersmellers）。雄甾二烯酮和苯乙醇阈值之间缺乏相关性进一步表明，雄甾二烯酮的双峰不是由于个人具有高的一般嗅觉敏感性。与先前的观察一致，有一个统计趋势，女性比男性对雄甾二烯酮更敏感。实验3的结果排除了雄二烯酮的双峰敏感性分布取决于三叉神经激活的个体差异的可能性。总之，目前的研究表明，对雄甾二烯酮的嗅觉敏感性在人群中呈双峰分布，其中一个亚组由高度敏感的人组成。
Individual differences in sensitivity to the putative human pheromone androstadienone were investigated in three experiments. In experiment 1, the absolute detection threshold for androstadienone was determined to be 211 micro M using the method of constant stimuli. Detection for the related compound estratetraenol was also investigated but a threshold could not be determined. In experiment 2, using an adaptive threshold test on 100 participants, the sensitivity distribution for androstadienone, but not for the reference odor phenylethyl alcohol, was bimodal, with a smaller group of individuals with a high sensitivity to androstadienone (supersmellers). A lack of correlation between thresholds for androstadienone and phenylethyl alcohol further suggested that the bimodality for androstadienone was not due to individuals with a high general olfactory sensitivity. In line with an earlier observation, there was a statistical tendency for women to be more sensitive to androstadienone than men. Results of experiment 3 preclude the possibility that the bimodal sensitivity distribution for androstadienone would depend on individual differences in trigeminal activation. Altogether, the current study suggests that olfactory sensitivity to androstadienone is bimodally distributed in the population with a subgroup consisting of highly sensitive people.
