Lingual fatty acid receptors (ie CD36) mediate the orosensory perception of fat/fatty acids
and may contribute to the susceptibility to develop obesity. The current study tested the …

Fat taste perception has long been concerned in the regulation of dietary fat intake.
Substantial experimental evidence defends fat as a sixth taste modality, but its allied …

Results: Along with marked weight loss, sCD36 was reduced by 21%(P= 0.0013) following
lifestyle intervention, and individual sCD36 reductions were significantly associated with the …

Purpose Although evidence suggests an inverse association between yogurt consumption
and the risk of disorders, such as type 2 diabetes and certain cancers, the mechanisms …

Aim. To evaluate the mRNA expression levels of Cd36 in adipose and hepatic tissues, in
rats with NAFLD after the consumption of sucrose for 10 and 20 weeks. Methods. Twenty …

Background The alanine-for-threonine substitution at codon 54 (A54T polymorphism) in the
fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene (FABP2) has been associated with hypertriglyceridemia …

Investigations on the relationship between sweet taste perception and body mass index
(BMI) have been inconclusive. Here, we report a longitudinal analysis using a genetically …

Snacking is an integral component of eating habits in young children that is often overlooked
in nutrition research. While snacking is a substantial source of calories in preschoolers' …

Scope Changes in genetic variations affecting the taste receptor, type 2, member 38
(TAS2R38) may identify the interacting mechanism leading to obesity and potential …

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 …
