Recent studies have suggested that excessive intake of dietary fat is associated with obesity.
Some obese subjects have been reported to exhibit high thresholds for the gustatory …

Obese subjects have shown a preference for dietary lipids. A recent collection of evidence
has proposed that a variant in the CD36 gene plays a significant role in this pathway. We …

Obesity and overweight represent a growing health problem worldwide. Genes regulating
the intake and metabolism of different nutrients can positively or negatively influence the …

Recent evidence has raised the possibility of the existence of a sixth taste modality–that is,
taste for fat–which is mediated by lingual CD36 and plays a role in obesity. Consequently …

Results: We noticed significantly higher CD36 A-allele frequency (P= 0.036) in young obese
children compared with leans. CD36 A-allele was associated with higher lipid taste …

Growing number of evidences have suggested that oral fat sensing, mediated by a
glycoprotein CD36 (cluster of differentiation 36), plays a significant role in the development …

We determined whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs1761667 and
rs1527483) in the fatty acid translocase CD36 gene-a receptor for fatty acids-is associated …

The precise orosensory inputs engaged for dietary lipids detection in humans are unknown.
We evaluated whether a common single nucleotide polymorphism (rs1761667) in the CD36 …

Animal studies show that CD36, a fatty acid translocase, is involved in fat detection and
preference, but these findings have not been reported in humans. The objective of this study …

Orosensory perception of dietary fat varies in individuals, thus influencing nutritional status.
Several studies associated fat detection and preference with CD36 or 6-n-propylthiouracil …
