Abstract: Let $Omega(n)$ denote the total number of prime divisors of $n$ (counting multiplicity) and let $omega(n)$ denote the number of distinct prime divisors of $n$. Various inequalities have been proved relating $omega(N)$ and $Omega(N)$ when $N$ is an odd perfect number. We improve on these inequalities. In particular, we show that if $3ot|N$, then $Omegageqfrac83omega(N)-frac73$ and if $3|N$ then $Omega(N)geqfrac218omega(N)-frac398.$
