Intravital Microscopic Interrogation of Peripheral Taste Sensation
Intravital microscopy is a powerful tool in neuroscience but has not been adapted to the taste sensory organ due to anatomical constraint. Here we developed an imaging window to facilitate microscopic access to the murine tongue in vivo. Real-time two-photon microscopy allowed the visualization of three-dimensional microanatomy of the intact tongue mucosa and functional activity of taste cells ...
متن کاملBiochemical Studies of Taste Sensation
Large numbers of taste buds are distributed over the body surface of the channel catfish Zctalurus punctatus, with the barbels having an especially high density. L-Alanine, as well as certain other amino acids, are taste stimuli in this animal. Epithelial tissue obtained by gentle scraping of the barbel surface was fractionated by differential centrifugation. A sedimentable fraction (P2) was pr...
متن کاملMechanisms for Taste Sensation of Carbonation
Mechanisms for Taste Sensation of Carbonation David Yarmolinsky Carbonation, or the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolved in solution, is a commonly encountered feature of beverages in the contemporary human diet. While the popularity of carbonation may be attributed to its distinct sensory qualities, the specific orosensory pathways mediating CO2 detection in mammals have not previously b...
متن کاملPeripheral Coding of Taste
Five canonical tastes, bitter, sweet, umami (amino acid), salty, and sour (acid), are detected by animals as diverse as fruit flies and humans, consistent with a near-universal drive to consume fundamental nutrients and to avoid toxins or other harmful compounds. Surprisingly, despite this strong conservation of basic taste qualities between vertebrates and invertebrates, the receptors and sign...
متن کاملIntravital Microscopic Research of Microembolization with Degradable Starch Microspheres
Treatment efficacy in cancer patients using systemically applied cytostatic drugs is decreased by cytotoxic side effects, which limits the use of efficient dosages. Degradable starch microspheres (DSM) are used to apply drugs into blood vessels which supply the target organ leading to drug accumulation in the target organ by reduction of the blood flow. The present investigations show that DSM ...
