In the past several years, tremendous progress has been achieved with the discovery and
characterization of vertebrate taste receptors from the T1R and T2R families, which are …

A family of approximately 30 TAS2R bitter taste receptors has been identified in mammals.
Their genes evolved through adaptive diversification and are linked to chromosomal loci …

Astringency and bitterness in red wines are generally considered to be elicited by phenolic
compounds and especially by tannins. This study explored the effects of pH, ethanol level …

Wine quality study was carried out with 24 vintages of Cabernet-Sauvignon (CS) and 7
vintages of Merlot (M) produced by two different Bordeaux wine-growing areas …

Grape variety [Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) and Merlot (M)] effect on the proanthocyanidin
composition and sensory perception of wine grapes from Bordeaux vineyards for two …

The inhalation of reactive gases and vapors can lead to severe damage of the airways and
lung, compromising the function of the respiratory system. Exposures to oxidizing …

Background Bitter-taste receptors (TAS2Rs) are involved in airway relaxation but are also
expressed in human blood leukocytes. We studied TAS2R expression and the effects of …

It has recently been shown that taste receptors, in addition to being present in the oral cavity,
exist in various extra-oral organs and tissues such as the thyroid, lungs, skin, stomach …

Background Bitter-taste receptors (TAS2Rs) have recently been involved in the relaxation of
mouse and guinea pig airways, and increased expression of TAS2Rs was shown in blood …

Sweet perception promotes food intake, whereas that of bitterness is inhibitory. Surprisingly,
the expression of sweet G protein-coupled taste receptor (GPCTR) subunits (T1R2 and …
