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 کاملLingual deficits in neurotrophin double knockout mice.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and Neurotrophin 3 (NT-3) are members of the neurotrophin family and are expressed in the developing and adult tongue papillae. BDNF null-mutated mice exhibit specific impairments related to innervation and development of the gustatory system while NT-3 null mice have deficits in their lingual somatosensory innervation. To further evaluate the functional...
متن کاملCALHM1 Deletion in Mice Affects Glossopharyngeal Taste Responses, Food Intake, Body Weight, and Life Span.
Stimulation of Type II taste receptor cells (TRCs) with T1R taste receptors causes sweet or umami taste, whereas T2Rs elicit bitter taste. Type II TRCs contain the calcium channel, calcium homeostasis modulator protein 1 (CALHM1), which releases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) transmitter to taste fibers. We have previously demonstrated with chorda tympani nerve recordings and two-bottle preferenc...
متن کاملThe Salty and Burning Taste of Capsaicin
The tongue is a kind of funny organ. From a physiological point of view, you can place solutions on the tongue that will be toxic to most any cell, and the tongue will give information, in a hopefully reversible manner, about the solution’s chemical composition and whether it should be ingested. Remember the first time that you had a drink of vodka or scotch? It really burned. Do you know the r...
متن کاملBroad complex rhythm with a salty taste
The ECG (Fig. 1 in the question) shows an extremely broad QRS complex rhythm (QRS duration of 220ms) with a heart rate of 95 beats/min and a left axis deviation. The differential diagnosis of a broad QRS complex rhythm (without tachycardia) is extensive, including bundle branch block (either rate dependent or fixed), hyperkalaemia, pre-excitation, ventricular pacing, (accelerated) idioventricul...
