Abstract

Genetic variations in taste receptors are associated with gustatory perception and obesity, which in turn affects dietary preferences. Given the increasing tendency of people with obesity choosing sweet, high-fat meals, the current study assessed the cross-regulation of two polymorphisms of the sweet taste receptor (T1R2/T1R3), rs35874116 and rs307355, on fat sensitivity in Indian adults. We investigated the association between taste sensitivity and BMI in the T1R2, T1R3, and CD36 polymorphic and non-polymorphic groups. The general labelled magnitude scale (gLMS) was used to assess the taste sensitivity of 249 participants in addition to anthropometric data. TaqMan Probe-based RT-PCR was employed to determine the polymorphisms. Additionally, the colorimetric method utilizing 3, 5-dinitro salicylic acid was used to evaluate the participants' salivary amylase activity. The mean detection thresholds for linoleic acid (LA) and sucrose were greater in individuals with obesity (i.e., 0.97 ± 0.08 mM and 0.22 ± 0.02 M, respectively) than in healthy adults (p < 0.0001), indicating lower sensitivity. Moreover, it was found that a greater proportion of persons with obesity fall into the polymorphic groups (i.e., 52% with genotype CD36 AA, 44% with genotype T1R2 CC, and 40% with genotype T1R3 TT). All three single nucleotide polymorphisms support the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p = 0.78). The Pearson correlation analysis between LA and the sucrose detection threshold revealed a significant (p < 0.0001) positive relationship with an r value of 0.5299. Moreover, salivary amylase activity was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in the polymorphic sub-groups. The results of our study imply that genetic variations in T1R2/T1R3 receptors affect perception of both sweetness and fat, which may have an effect on obesity.

T1R2/T1R3多态性影响甜味和脂肪感知：肥胖发展过程中 SNP 与 BMI 之间的相关性。

味觉受体的基因变异与味觉感知和肥胖有关，进而影响饮食偏好。鉴于肥胖症患者越来越倾向于选择甜食、高脂肪膳食，本研究评估了甜味受体（T1R2/T1R3）的两个多态性 rs35874116 和 rs307355 对印度成年人脂肪敏感性的交叉调节作用。我们调查了 T1R2、T1R3 和 CD36 多态组和非多态组的味觉敏感度与体重指数之间的关系。除了人体测量数据外，我们还使用了通用标签量表（gLMS）来评估 249 名参与者的味觉敏感度。采用基于 TaqMan 探针的 RT-PCR 技术确定多态性。此外，还利用 3，5-二硝基水杨酸比色法评估了参与者唾液淀粉酶的活性。肥胖症患者对亚油酸（LA）和蔗糖的平均检测阈值（分别为 0.97 ± 0.08 mM 和 0.22 ± 0.02 M）高于健康成年人（p

期刊介绍： Human Genetics is a monthly journal publishing original and timely articles on all aspects of human genetics. The Journal particularly welcomes articles in the areas of Behavioral genetics, Bioinformatics, Cancer genetics and genomics, Cytogenetics, Developmental genetics, Disease association studies, Dysmorphology, ELSI (ethical, legal and social issues), Evolutionary genetics, Gene expression, Gene structure and organization, Genetics of complex diseases and epistatic interactions, Genetic epidemiology, Genome biology, Genome structure and organization, Genotype-phenotype relationships, Human Genomics, Immunogenetics and genomics, Linkage analysis and genetic mapping, Methods in Statistical Genetics, Molecular diagnostics, Mutation detection and analysis, Neurogenetics, Physical mapping and Population Genetics. Articles reporting animal models relevant to human biology or disease are also welcome. Preference will be given to those articles which address clinically relevant questions or which provide new insights into human biology. Unless reporting entirely novel and unusual aspects of a topic, clinical case reports, cytogenetic case reports, papers on descriptive population genetics, articles dealing with the frequency of polymorphisms or additional mutations within genes in which numerous lesions have already been described, and papers that report meta-analyses of previously published datasets will normally not be accepted. The Journal typically will not consider for publication manuscripts that report merely the isolation, map position, structure, and tissue expression profile of a gene of unknown function unless the gene is of particular interest or is a candidate gene involved in a human trait or disorder.
