The odour threshold bimodality for exaltolide described by Whissell-Buechy & Amoore (1973) among American whites is confirmed for a population sample in London. A highly correlated bimodality presumed to be caused by the absence of inactivity of certain receptor sites is shown to exist for another structurally different musk substance, musk ambrette. The thresholds for musk ketone show no bimodality and their correlation with the thresholds for the two other musks is low.
惠塞尔 - 比希 & 阿莫尔(1973年)所描述的美国白人中黄葵内酯的气味阈值双峰现象,在伦敦的一个人群样本中得到了证实。对于另一种结构不同的麝香物质——葵子麝香,也显示出存在一种高度相关的双峰现象,这种现象推测是由某些受体位点缺乏不活动状态所引起的。酮麝香的阈值没有显示出双峰现象,并且它们与其他两种麝香阈值的相关性较低。
