Human type 2 taste receptor (TAS2R) genes encode bitter-taste receptors that are activated
by various bitter ligands. It has been said that TAS2R38 may detect bitter substances and …

One of the critical factors that determines individual differences in dietary behavior and
nutritional status is the sensory-affecting quality of food, in particular its taste. Variation of …

Genetic variation in the bitter taste receptor gene taste receptor type 2, member 38
(TAS2R38) is associated with an individual's bitter taste sensitivity, food preference and …

Bitterness-sensing protein taste receptor type-2 member 38 (TAS2R38, T2R38) mediates
taste perception and various physiological responses, including energy-and adiposity …

Individual taste sensitivity influences food preferences, nutritional control, and health, and
differs greatly between individuals. The purpose of this study was to establish a method of …

Differential bitterness perception associated with genetic polymorphism in the bitter taste
receptor gene taste 2 receptor member 38 (TAS2R38) may influence an individual's food …

This study examined the relationship between TAS2R38 gene polymorphism (RS713598),
G/G, C/G or C/C genotype, and sensory responsiveness, food preferences, biochemical …

Background: The inter-individual differences in taste perception find a possible rationale in
genetic variations. We verified whether the presence of four different single nucleotide …

Background and ObjectivesZZGenetic variations of bitter taste receptors (TAS2R) have
shown different responses to bitter taste compounds and the frequencies of these variations …

Bitterness-receptor gene TAS2R38 is associated with taste sensitivity and dietary behaviour,
and is known to play a critical role in adiposity. However, evidence regarding body …
