Objective: It is known that genetic variations in the mechanism of taste perception play an
essential role in food intake. In this study, we investigated the SNP rs35874116 …

BACKGROUND: Increased consumption of sweet and high-calorie foods leads to weight
gain in humans and the development of metabolic syndrome. Great attention is given to a …

Introduction: A growing evidence supported that variation of sweet taste perception,
mediated by TAS1Rs gene variants could lead to excess sweetened food and beverages …

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 …

Common polymorphisms of the TAS1R3 gene (RS307355) have recently been associated
to a twisted sweet taste perception. The aim of this study was to investigate how the C/C, T/T …

Aim: Taste is a major determinant of food choice; however, there is a great lack of
knowledge about how taste perception affects human nutrition. Bitter taste perception …

Purpose Polymorphisms in taste receptor genes may be associated with taste sensitivity and
possibly with food consumption and body weight. Previous studies relating bitter taste …

Abstract Taste receptor type 1, member 2 (TAS1R2) controls the oral sensing of sweetness.
Genetic variations in TAS1R2 have been shown to be associated with differential sweetness …

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 …

Abstract Background/Aims: To determine whether variation in the TAS1R2 gene affects
sucrose taste perception and sugar intake. Methods: Participants were men (n= 238) and …
