New Frontiers in Gut Nutrient Sensor Research: Nutrient Sensors in the Gastrointestinal Tract: Modulation of Sweet Taste Sensitivity by Leptin
The ability to perceive sweet compounds is important for animals to detect an external carbohydrate source of calories and has a critical role in the nutritional status of animals. In mice, a subset of sweet-sensitive taste cells possesses leptin receptors. Increase of plasma leptin with increasing...
