Human bitter taste perception.
Bitter taste perception is innate and induces aversive reactions. Since numerous harmful compounds, including secondary plant metabolites, synthetic chemicals, inorganic ions and rancid fats, do taste bitter, this basic taste modality may be considered as a defence mechanism against the ingestion of potential poisons. For a complete understanding of this defence mechanism it is obligatory to id...
متن کاملMammalian taste perception
What is the relationship of Aurora kinases and cancer? All three members of the Aurora kinase family are overexpressed in multiple solid tumors, which is perhaps not surprising considering their functions in cell division. As more and more smallmolecule Aurora kinase inhibitors are being developed, these inhibitors can be used not only for cell-biological studies on the functions of Aurora kina...
متن کاملGenetics of human taste perception.
Genetic approaches are rapidly yielding new information about our sense of taste. This information comes from both molecular studies of genes encoding taste receptors and other taste-signaling components, and from studies of inherited variation in taste abilities. Our understanding of bitter taste has advanced by combined information from discovery and study of the TAS2R family of taste recepto...
متن کاملTaste Perception: Drosophila – A Model of Good Taste
Recent studies of taste receptors in Drosophila show remarkable parallels with the mammalian gustatory system, although the pathways are anatomically distinct. These parallels may reflect crucial constraints in the design of taste detection systems.
متن کاملValidation of edible taste strips for assessing PROP taste perception.
A novel delivery method is described that incorporates taste stimuli into edible strips for determining n-propylthiouracil (PROP) taster status. Edible strips that contained 400 or 600 nanomoles of PROP were prepared for psychophysical studies. Using these strips, we measured taste intensity, taste hedonics, and taste quality responses in a sample of healthy volunteers (n = 118). Participants w...
