Salty taste deficits in CALHM1 knockout mice.
Genetic ablation of calcium homeostasis modulator 1 (CALHM1), which releases adenosine triphosphate from Type 2 taste cells, severely compromises the behavioral and electrophysiological responses to tastes detected by G protein-coupled receptors, such as sweet and bitter. However, the contribution of CALHM1 to salty taste perception is less clear. Here, we evaluated several salty taste-related ...
متن کاملSpontaneous bacterial keratitis in CD36 knockout mice.
PURPOSE CD36 is a Class B scavenger receptor that is constitutively expressed in the corneal epithelium and has been implicated in many homeostatic functions, including the homeostasis of the epidermal barrier. The aim of this study is to determine (1) whether CD36 is required for the maintenance of the corneal epithelial barrier to infection, and (2) whether CD36-deficient mice present with an...
متن کاملCD36 gene deletion reduces fat preference and intake but not post-oral fat conditioning in mice.
Several findings suggest the existence of a "fatty" taste, and the CD36 fatty acid translocase is a candidate taste receptor. The present study compared fat preference and acceptance in CD36 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice using nutritive (triglyceride and fatty acid) and nonnutritive (Sefa Soyate oil) emulsions. In two-bottle tests (24 h/day) naive KO mice, unlike WT mice, displayed litt...
متن کاملAccelerated fat absorption in intestinal alkaline phosphatase knockout mice.
Intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) is the most ancestral of the tissue-specific members of the AP gene family. Several studies have suggested an absorptive function for IAP, but in vivo data to this effect have been lacking. We inactivated the mouse IAP gene in embryo-derived stem cells and generated mice homozygous for the null mutation. The mice were macroscopically and histologically norm...
متن کاملWarming-induced reductions in body size are greater in aquatic than terrestrial species.
Most ectothermic organisms mature at smaller body sizes when reared in warmer conditions. This phenotypically plastic response, known as the "temperature-size rule" (TSR), is one of the most taxonomically widespread patterns in biology. However, the TSR remains a longstanding life-history puzzle for which no dominant driver has been found. We propose that oxygen supply plays a central role in e...
