Filter by:The sweet taste receptor, TAS1R2-TAS1R3, is expressed both orally, where it signals sweet taste, and extraorally in the intestine and pancreas, where it may affect glucose absorption and metabolism. Recently, ibuprofen and naproxen have been identified to inhibit human T1R3 when heterologously expressed in cells. In the present study, the initial objective was to determine if ibuprofen and naproxen inhibit interactions of sugars with human sweet taste receptor under normal, physiological conditions. Ten healthy participants were asked to rate sweetness intensity for a range of sweet stimuli (sucrose, fructose, sucralose) after a prerinse of ibuprofen, naproxen or water. Both ibuprofen and naproxen inhibited sweet taste intensity in a dose-dependent manner. In association studies, ibuprofen use has been linked to preserved metabolic function, as its use is correlated with lower rates of Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and colon cancer. Here the investigators present a potential novel pathway for systemic ibuprofen to impact these metabolic diseases.
Orthognathic surgery refers to jaw operations that can be performed on the upper jaws (Le Fort I osteotomy) and lower jaws (Sagittal Split Ramus osteotomy). In orthognathic surgery practice, taste perception could be affected by potential damage to peripheral nerves that conduct chemosensory information regarding gustation from the palate and tongue. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in the sense of taste after Le Fort I osteotomy, Sagittal Split Ramus osteotomy, and bimaxillary surgery.
Some evidence suggests that taste perception might be modulated by physical exercise, with differences observed after aerobic exercise (DOI:10.1093/chemse/23.4.417) and with habitual exercise (DOI:10.3390/nu11010155). However, the effects of resistance exercise on taste perception has not been studied. This knowledge is important as it may impact the acceptability of foods consumed after exercise. While plant-protein supplement powders are gaining increased popularity, their palatability and, thereby, acceptability may be a shortcoming. This randomised crossover trial aims to investigate (1) the taste perception and acceptability of plant protein supplement powders and (2) whether resistance exercise modulates taste perception and appetite responses to plant protein.
To explore the intervention effect of auricular point sticking on chemotherapy-induced taste alterations in cancer patients, and analyze its relationship with quality of life, nutritional status and psychology of patients.
The perception of astringency is thought to involve the interaction between tannins and salivary proteins. However, the mechanisms underlying this interaction are poorly understood. The tannins' subclass known as type A proanthocyanidins seems to have a positive effect on human health. Despite that, humans show large individual differences in the sensory perception and acceptance of astringent foods such as tea, wine and chocolate suggesting that this variation may have a genetic basis. Salivary proteins play an essential role both in affecting oral taste perception and in maintaining a healthy oral environment. Diverse microorganisms inhabit the oral cavity. The interactions between oral microbiota, host and environmental factors influence microbial homeostasis and ultimately human oral health. Understanding individual differences in salivary proteins, oral microbiome and the mechanisms by which tannins evoke the perception of astringency could provide important insights into the role of these compounds in human nutrition and health.
An assessment of the effectiveness of Stellate Ganglion Block in alleviating symptoms of Long COVID-19.
A single arm intervention study examining ONS-flavour preference in cancer patients with and without taste alterations
Purpose and Objective: Compare the incidence of taste alteration in treatment vs. control arms and Compare weight loss in treatment vs. control arms
Taste disorders in cancer patients during chemotherapy could be consider as multifactorial disease, it is related with changes of food consumption. Approximately 36-69% of the patients under chemotherapy suffer oral toxicity or dysgeusia A prospective case- only observational study was conducted in patients of the Hospital General de México for two years. A self-reported taste survey was used, and patients scored their results in a Likert scale.
The study aims to test the frequency of severe acute respiratory syndrome new corona virus SARS-CoV-2 or other respiratory viruses in patients presenting with anosmia or dysgeusia to Ain Shams University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt.
