Neurotrophins in Zebrafish Taste Buds [PDF]
Animals, 2022 The neurotrophin family is composed of nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), Neurotrophin 3 (NT3) and NT4. These neurotrophins regulate several crucial functions through the activation of two types of transmembrane ...

Oxytocin signaling in mouse taste buds.
PLoS ONE, 2010 BackgroundThe neuropeptide, oxytocin (OXT), acts on brain circuits to inhibit food intake. Mutant mice lacking OXT (OXT knockout) overconsume salty and sweet (i.e. sucrose, saccharin) solutions.

Qualitative and quantitative differences between taste buds of the rat and mouse [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2007 Background Numerous electrophysiological, ultrastructural, and immunocytochemical studies on rodent taste buds have been carried out on rat taste buds. In recent years, however, the mouse has become the species of choice for molecular and other studies ...

Evolvement of taste sensitivity and taste buds in chickens during selective breeding [PDF]
Poultry Science, 2021 : Chickens have been reported to have a low taste bud count and thus low taste acuity. However, more recent studies indicate that the earlier reported count of chicken taste buds may have been significantly underestimated.

Glutamate may be an efferent transmitter that elicits inhibition in mouse taste buds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Recent studies suggest that l-glutamate may be an efferent transmitter released from axons innervating taste buds. In this report, we determined the types of ionotropic synaptic glutamate receptors present on taste cells and that underlie this postulated

Suspension-cultured taste bud organoids recapitulate in vivo taste buds [PDF]
Organoid, 2023 Background Taste buds are a complex organ and require a plethora of growth factors for their development, homeostasis, and regeneration. Taste bud organoids provide a platform for understanding their development, disease and regeneration. Methods In this

Morphology and distribution of taste papillae and oral denticles in the developing oropharyngeal cavity of the bamboo shark, Chiloscyllium punctatum [PDF]
Biology Open, 2016 Gustation in sharks is not well understood, especially within species that ingest food items using suction. This study examines the morphological and immunohistochemical characterisation of taste papillae and oral denticles in the oropharynx of the brown-

Differential expression of a BMP4 reporter allele in anterior fungiform versus posterior circumvallate taste buds of mice [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2010 Background Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 (BMP4) is a diffusible factor which regulates embryonic taste organ development. However, the role of BMP4 in taste buds of adult mice is unknown. We utilized transgenic mice with LacZ under the control of the BMP4

New description of vagal nerve commanted intrapancreatic taste buds and blood glucose level: An experimental analysis [PDF]
BioImpacts, 2021 Introduction: There have been thousands of neurochemical mechanism about blood glucose level regulation, but intrapancreatic taste buds and their roles in blood glucose level has not been described.
