Human Pheromones | Biosynthesis & Function

The video provides an overview of human pheromone biosynthesis, differentiating hormones from pheromones. It explains the biosynthesis pathway starting with pregnenolone and highlights the locations of pheromone production, such as the armpits and genitals. The video also discusses a study showing economic evidence of pheromones' effects on human behavior, particularly in the context of fertility and attraction.

How do pheromones differ in their mechanism of action compared to hormones?

What is the function of aromatase in the context of pheromone biosynthesis in females?

Discuss the findings of the 'stripper study' and its implications on human pheromones.

What are the potential effects of pheromones on human behavior, according to the video?
