{"title":"Electrogustometric thresholds: relationship to anterior tongue locus, area of stimulation, and number of fungiform papillae.","authors":"Shawn L Miller, Natasha Mirza, Richard L Doty","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>It is well established that, on the anterior tongue, thresholds for chemical tastants are inversely related to the number of fungiform papillae. However, it is not known whether this is the case for thresholds for electrical currents presented to the lingual surface. In this study, electrical thresholds for 16 subjects were determined at four left-side anterior lingual locations: tongue tip (TT), a region 1.7 cm posterior to the TT, a region 3.4 cm posterior to the TT, and a region 1.7 cm from the TT along the lateral margin. Two electrode sizes (12.5 mm2 and 50 mm2) were employed for the anodal current, and stimulus duration was held constant at 0.5 s. The number of fungiform papillae was determined using videomicroscopy. Analogous to what is seen with chemical stimulation, an inverse relationship was present between the mean electrical thresholds, expressed in terms of current density, and the number of papillae within the stimulated regions. The TT-which has the highest density of fungiform papillae--was found to be more sensitive than the other tongue regions evaluated. Also paralleling chemical thresholds, the mean electrical threshold values were lower (i.e., sensitivity was higher) at a given tongue locus for the 50-mm2 than for the 12.5-mm2 stimulus area. Overall, this study demonstrates that thresholds for electrical stimulation vary across discrete regions of the anterior tongue and are specifically related to the number of fungiform papillae within the stimulated regions. These observations provide additional support for the hypothesis that lingual sensations induced by low levels of electrical current are mediated by the taste system.</p>","PeriodicalId":76715,"journal":{"name":"The Penn dental journal","volume":"102 ","pages":"6-7, 31-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40922303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of leukocytes are mediated by bacterial peptide, n-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP), which interacts with a G protein-related kinase receptor to produce acute (degranulation) and chronic (chemokine production) inflammatory mediators. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of fMLP receptor phosphorylation by G protein-related kinase, GRK2, on degranulation and chemokine production. Here we show over-expression of GRK2 decreases degranulation and increases chemokine production. These studies suggest that receptor phosphorylation plays a unique role in \"turning off\" acute inflammation and simultaneously \"turning on\" a chronic inflammatory response. This study has relevance to many inflammatory diseases, including many in the oral cavity.</p>","PeriodicalId":76715,"journal":{"name":"The Penn dental journal","volume":"102 ","pages":"8-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40922304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
