CD36, located on the cell membrane, transports fatty acids in response to dietary fat. It is a
critical fatty acid sensor and regulator of lipid metabolism. The interaction between CD36 …

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 …

Dietary lipids absorbed in the intestine are closely related to the development of metabolic
syndrome. CD36 is a multi-functional scavenger receptor with multiple ligands, which plays …

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 …

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 …

Highlights•Food liking, choices and intake are influenced by many factors, including
genetics.•The human repertoire of taste, odor and chemesthetic receptors has much …

Previous studies have shown that variations in the CD36 gene may affect phenotypes
associated with fat metabolism as the CD36 protein facilitates the transport of fatty acids to …

A relationship between bitter and fat taste sensitivity, CD36 rs1761667 and TAS2R38 has
been demonstrated. However, research is scarce and does not take diet into account. This …

Genetic variations in taste receptors are associated with gustatory perception and obesity,
which in turn affects dietary preferences. Given the increasing tendency of people with …

Background Several reports discussed a connection between CD36 genotypes associated
with obesity, influencing the development of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Therefore, this …
