Taste receptor cells use multiple signaling mechanisms to detect different taste stimuli in the
oral cavity. Ionic stimuli (sour, salty) interact directly with ion channels to elicit responses …

The gustatory system provides critical information about the quality and nutritional value of
food before it is ingested. Thus, physiological mechanisms that modulate taste function in …

Background & Aims It is important to increase our understanding of gustatory detection of
dietary fat and its contribution to fat preference. We studied the roles of the fat taste receptors …

Our sense of taste arises from the sensory information generated after compounds in the
oral cavity and oropharynx activate taste receptor cells situated on taste buds. This produces …

Previous studies have shown that aging modifies taste sensitivity. However, the factors
affecting the changes in taste sensitivity remain unclear. To investigate the cause of the age …

OBJECTIVE It is becoming apparent that there is a strong link between taste perception and
energy homeostasis. Recent evidence implicates gut-related hormones in taste perception …

Normal aging is a complex process that affects every organ system in the body, including the
taste system. Thus, we investigated the effects of the normal aging process on taste bud …

Efforts to unravel the mechanisms underlying taste sensation (gustation) have largely
focused on rodents. Here we present the first comprehensive characterization of gene …
