I know this wasn't directed at me, but they've done double blind studies with androstadienone.
Quote:…during the stimulation and recovery periods the whole-face
temperatures increased with the ovulatory women and decreased with the non-ovulatory
women (Fig. 2). Indeed, for androstadienone exposure as recovery period vs.
stimulation period, there was a significant continuous increase in the ovulatory women
(p <0.001; paired t-test) and a significant continuous decrease in the non-ovulatory
women (p <0.05; paired t-test), compared to placebo exposure, where no changes were
seen.
The largest variations here were seen for the nose, the temperature of which
appeared to show a significant late activation peak during the recovery phase following
androstadienone exposure in both the ovulatory and non-ovulatory women (p <0.001 for
both), as also seen for the forehead region with the non-ovulatory women (Fig. 4).
Moreover, in the ovulatory women, the palm temperature appeared to be the most responsive
parameter to androstadienone administration.
…
Furthermore, the time-courses of the responses to
exposure to androstadienone range across studies, from about 6 min, to 30-40 min, and
up to more than 2 h (Jacob and McClintock, 2000; Grosser et al., 2000; Bensafi et al.,
2003). These discrepancies might reflect the various methodological approaches and the
dose-dependent effects of the ANS responses that are seen between the sexes: at higher
8
concentrations, androstadienone has sympathetic-like effects in women, and
parasympathetic-like effects in men (Bensafi et al., 2003; Bensafi et al., 2004b).
…
Moreover,
thermal fluctuations that suggest a double heat-peak response to androstadienone were
detectable: an early response over the first few minutes of activation that is in agreement
with previous studies (Jacob and McClintock, 2000), and a delayed response that is
compatible with middle-to-late responses (Grosser et al., 2000; Bensafi et al., 2003).
