La percezione del gusto amaro nell’uomo: la sensibilità gustativa al 6-n-propiltiouracile (PROP) come marker della variabilità individuale con implicazioni fisiologico-nutrizionali
PROP sensitivity varies greatly among individuals and can strongly influence food choice and satiety. It is associated with the bitter receptor gene (TAS2R38) and with differences in the salivary proteins involved in taste function. Among them, the enzyme Zn dependent gustin, a trophic factor of …

Sensitivity to chemical stimuli plays a fundamental role in the food preferences. Examples in the evolutionary scale: 1. Role of the walking leg chemoreceptors in the red swamp crayfish Procambarus Clarkii 2. PROP bitter taste sensitivity and its nutritional implications in Humans
In this thesis, we studied two examples of the sensitivity to chemical stimuli and its role in the food preferences in two models of the evolutionary scale. The red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Girard, 1852) (Crustacea: Decapoda) is an invasive species of freshwater habitats that has spread …
