Gustatory receptors in Lepidoptera: chemosensation and beyond [PDF]
Insect Molecular Biology, 2016 Abstract Lepidoptera is one of the most widespread insect orders and includes several agriculturally important insect species. Ecological success of the lepidopteran insects partly depends on their adaptive chemoreception tactics, which play an important role in the selection of hosts, egg‐laying sites and mates ...

Peripheral, central and behavioral responses to the cuticular pheromone bouquet in Drosophila melanogaster males. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Pheromonal communication is crucial with regard to mate choice in many animals including insects. Drosophila melanogaster flies produce a pheromonal bouquet with many cuticular hydrocarbons some of which diverge between the sexes and differently affect ...

Immunohistochemical detection of TAS2R38 protein in human taste cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The sense of taste plays an important role in the evaluation of the nutrient composition of consumed food. Bitter taste in particular is believed to serve a warning function against the ingestion of poisonous substances.

In Silico Characterisation of the Aedes aegypti Gustatory Receptors
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Aedes aegypti, also known as the dengue mosquito or the yellow fewer mosquito, is the vector of dengue, chikungunya, Zika, Mayaro and yellow fever viruses. The A. aegypti genome contains an array of gustatory receptor (GR) proteins that are related to the recognition of taste. In this study, we performed in silico molecular characterization of all 72 A.

The gustatory system influences "Drosophila" lifespan [PDF]
, 2011 The lifespan of an organism is affected by the complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. In C. elegans, this interaction between genes and environment is mediated by the sensory system.

A taste of the Drosophila gustatory receptors [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2009 Insects such as the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, rely on contact chemosensation to detect nutrient-rich foods, to avoid consuming toxic chemicals, and to select mates and hospitable zones to deposit eggs. Flies sense tastants and nonvolatile pheromones through gustatory bristles and pegs distributed on multiple body parts including the proboscis,

Zinc Gluconate in the Treatment of Dysgeusia—a Randomized Clinical Trial [PDF]
, 2005 In the treatment of dysgeusia, the use of zinc has been frequently tried, with equivocal results. The aim of the present randomized clinical trial, which involved a sufficiently large sample, was therefore to determine the efficacy of zinc treatment ...

Sweet Taste Is Complex: Signaling Cascades and Circuits Involved in Sweet Sensation
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 Sweetness is the preferred taste of humans and many animals, likely because sugars are a primary source of energy. In many mammals, sweet compounds are sensed in the tongue by the gustatory organ, the taste buds.
