When Sweet Turns Salty
SEE PAGE 804 O ne of the most challenging aspects of obesity is its link to “metabolic syndrome,” when abdominal obesity is accompanied by high fasting blood glucose, low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high levels of triglycerides, and elevated blood pressure. With rising obesity rates, metabolic syndrome is likely to become more common in the years ahead (1). Although progress...
متن کاملWhen splicing turns bad.
RNA splicing, the process that removes introns from pre-mRNA and links exons together to generate the fully mature messenger RNA (mRNA), is a complicated and highly regulated process. Splicing is catalyzed by the spliceosome, a large RNA-protein complex composed of several small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes (snRNPs) that each have a specific task during splicing. Correct splicing is impo...
متن کاملRepresentation of sweet and salty taste intensity in the brain.
The intensity of the taste of a food is affected mostly by the amount of sugars (mono- and disaccharides) or salt it contains. To season savory-tasting foods mainly table salt (NaCl) is used and to sweeten foods, sugars like sucrose are used. Foods with highly intense tastes are consumed in smaller amounts. The optimal taste intensity of a food is the intensity at which it is perceived as most ...
متن کاملAngiotensin II modulates salty and sweet taste sensitivities.
Understanding the mechanisms underlying gustatory detection of dietary sodium is important for the prevention and treatment of hypertension. Here, we show that Angiotensin II (AngII), a major mediator of body fluid and sodium homeostasis, modulates salty and sweet taste sensitivities, and that this modulation critically influences ingestive behaviors in mice. Gustatory nerve recording demonstra...
متن کاملWhen Gaze Turns into Grasp
Previous research has provided evidence for a neural system underlying the observation of another person's hand actions. Is the neural system involved in this capacity also important in inferring another person's motor intentions toward an object from their eye gaze? In real-life situations, humans use eye movements to catch and direct the attention of others, often without any accompanying han...
