Maintenance of rat taste buds in primary culture.
The differentiated taste bud is a complex end organ consisting of multiple cell types with various morphological, immunocytochemical and electrophysiological characteristics. Individual taste cells have a limited lifespan and are regularly replaced by a proliferative basal cell population. The specific factors contributing to the maintenance of a differentiated taste bud are largely unknown. Su...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Taste Buds in Organ Culture
It is well established that the structural integrity of mammalian taste buds is dependent on an intact innervation . This is based on the following lines of evidence . Experiments in which gustatory nerves were severed resulted in degeneration of taste buds (5, 8, 9, 14, 17) . If gustatory nerves were allowed to regenerate into the areas they previously innervated, taste buds reappeared (8, 10,...
متن کاملTaste Preference Following Cross-Innervation of Rat Fungiform Taste Buds'
OAKLEY, B. Taste preference following cross-innervation of rat fungiform taste buds. PHYSIOL. BEHAV. 4 (6) 929--933, 1969.-It has been previously demonstrated that cross-innervation of rat taste buds alters some features of the taste input signal to the brain. In the present study the behavioral consequences of these alterations were assessed in a choice situation in which both water and taste ...
متن کاملExpression of aquaporin water channels in rat taste buds.
In order to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms that allow taste cells to respond to changes in their osmotic environment, we have used primarily immunocytochemical and molecular approaches to look for evidence of the presence of aquaporin-like water channels in taste cells. Labeling of isolated taste buds from the fungiform, foliate, and vallate papillae in rat tongue with antibodies ag...
متن کاملInnervation of single fungiform taste buds during development in rat.
To determine whether the innervation of taste buds changes during postnatal development, the number of geniculate ganglion cells that innervated single fungiform taste buds were quantified in the tip- and midregions of the tongue of adult and developing rats. There was substantial variation in both the size of individual taste buds and number of geniculate ganglion cells that innervated them. I...
