Steviol glycosides enhance pancreatic beta-cell function and taste sensation by potentiation of TRPM5 channel activity
Steviol glycosides (SGs), such as stevioside and rebaudioside A, are natural, non-caloric sweet-tasting organic molecules, present in extracts of the scrub plant Stevia rebaudiana, which are widely used as sweeteners in consumer foods and beverages. TRPM5 is a Ca2+-activated cation channel expressed in type II taste receptor cells and pancreatic β-cells. Here we show that stevioside, rebaudiosi...
متن کاملChanging Taste by Targeting the Ion Channel TRPM5
The taste system has evolved to make nutritious foods attractive and toxic substances aversive so as to achieve a maximal health benefit for the organism. However, evolution has not kept up with changes in human diet and lifestyle, including the development of life-saving, but bitter tasting pharmaceuticals, and the over abundance of high calorie, sweet tasting, food. The recent identification ...
متن کاملSynthetic study on the relationship between structure and sweet taste properties of steviol glycosides.
The structure activity relationship between the C₁₆-C₁₇ methylene double bond on the aglycone of steviol glycosides and the corresponding impact on their sweet taste has been reported here for the first time. It has been observed that converting stevioside and rebaudioside A to their corresponding ketones by switching the doubly bonded methylene on C-17 for a ketone group actually removes the s...
متن کاملSteviol Glycosides Modulate Glucose Transport in Different Cell Types
Extracts from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, a plant native to Central and South America, have been used as a sweetener since ancient times. Currently, Stevia extracts are largely used as a noncaloric high-potency biosweetener alternative to sugar, due to the growing incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and metabolic disorders worldwide. Despite the large number of studies on Stevia and ...
متن کاملTaste responsiveness to two steviol glycosides in three species of nonhuman primates
Primates have been found to differ widely in their taste perception and studies suggest that a co-evolution between plant species bearing a certain taste substance and primate species feeding on these plants may contribute to such between-species differences. Considering that only platyrrhine primates, but not catarrhine or prosimian primates, share an evolutionary history with the neotropical ...
