The incidence of obesity and its associated diseases including diabetes and various
cardiovascular disease continues to escalate. Since the energy homeostasis executes a …

Taste and smell play a key role in our ability to perceive foods. Overconsumption of highly
palatable energy-dense foods can lead to increased caloric intake and obesity. Thus there is …

Recent advances in the field of taste physiology have clarified the role of different basic taste
modalities and their implications in health and disease and proposed emphatically that there …

It has been well propounded that there exists five basic taste modalities, eg, sweet, sour,
bitter, salty and umami. Recent compelling evidence from rodents and human beings raises …

During the last couples of years, a number of studies have increasingly accumulated on the
gustatory perception of dietary fatty acids in rodent models and human beings in health and …

An attraction for palatable foods rich in lipids is shared by rodents and humans. Over the last
decade, the mechanisms responsible for this specific eating behavior have been actively …

Background & Aims The spontaneous preference for dietary lipids is principally regulated by
2 lingual fat taste receptors, CD36 and GPR120. Obese animals and most of human …

Energy homeostasis plays a significant role in food consumption and body weight regulation
with fat intake being an area of particular interest due to its palatability and high energy …

A major challenge in taste research is to overcome the flavour imperfections in food products
and to build nutritious strategies to combat against obesity as well as other related metabolic …

Gustatory fatty acid signaling termed “fatty acid taste” is initiated when nonesterified fatty
acids (NEFA) bind to putative fat receptors on taste receptor cells. However, the source and …
