Pregnadienedione (PDD), or pregna-4,20-dien-3,6-dione, is a steroid and pherine, or synthetic pheromone.[1][2] PDD has been found to activate the vomeronasal organ in men.[1][2] Moreover, inhalation by men has been found to affect autonomic and central function and to lower luteinizing hormone and testosterone levels, while inhalation by women has few or no effects.[1][2]
