Relatedly, estradiol has been shown to enhance glucose sensing in human pancreatic β cells via closure of KATP channels. Since taste tissue has estradiol receptors, we linked these 2 observations and tested whether elevated estradiol may also enhance taste sensitivity and liking for glucose in humans. We hypothesized that around the time of ovulation, when estrogen peaks during the menstrual cycle in female participants, oral taste detection thresholds for glucose (metabolizable monosaccharide) would decrease but would not for sucralose or the glucose analog methyl-D-glucopyranoside (MDG) (both nonmetabolizable sweeteners that do not close KATP channels). Fifteen healthy eumenorrheic females were asked to track their urinary estrogen metabolite estrone-3-glucuronide (E3G) via a fertility monitor. The participants were tested using oral detection thresholds for glucose, sucralose and MDG during the E3G nadir at menstruation and E3G peak (>100 ng/mL) at peri-ovulation. Seven male participants were also tested for glucose detection thresholds over the same 2-wk interval. Female participants were also asked to rate their liking for glucose solutions at mildly sweet (450 mM) and moderately sweet (900 mM) concentrations. Detection thresholds for glucose, but not sucralose or MDG, decreased peri-ovulation during estrogen peak (P < 0.05), indicating enhanced sensitivity to glucose specifically. Males showed no change in glucose threshold over the 2 wk. Liking ratings for 900 mM glucose tended to increase during ovulation (P = 0.06). These observations are consistent with the idea that estrogen and/or other co-modulating hormones, such as luteinizing hormone and progesterone, enhance a metabolic signaling pathway during the peri-ovulatory phase.</p>","PeriodicalId":9771,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Senses","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12510805/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145014003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We measured brain activation resulting from orthonasal exposure to an ecologically relevant fat-related odor source-dairy milk, manipulated to contain 0%, 3.5%, or 14% fat. Twenty-six healthy, normosmic adults underwent olfactory fat content discrimination testing, followed by an fMRI task during which the 3 odor stimuli were delivered via an olfactometer (25 times/fat level) and rated on perceived intensity and liking. Participants discriminated between all fat levels, with fat level influencing perceived odor intensity and liking. These perceptual differences, however, were not reflected in differential brain activation. Brain activation differences were observed only when comparing odor exposure with no exposure. Specifically, in response to any odor, activation occurred in the anterior part of the supplementary motor area (SMA) while deactivating parts of the hippocampus, putamen, superior temporal gyrus, anterior cingulate cortex, insula, and posterior part of the SMA. Exposure to the 0% fat odor also activated the thalamus. No associations were found between perceived intensity and liking and neural responses.

This study aimed to identify the anatomical structures necessary for odor localization, with a particular focus on the role of interhemispheric communication. We assessed the ability to localize pure olfactory and mixed olfactory/trigeminal stimuli in 6 participants with structural interhemispheric deficits (including surgical transection or agenesis of the corpus callosum (CC) and agenesis of the CC and anterior commissure (AC, one case)) and compared their performance to 46 healthy controls. Of the six participants with structural interhemispheric deficits, three were unable to localize either stimulus. Two participants performed significantly better than chance for both pure and mixed stimuli, while one participant exhibited the typical localization pattern observed in most controls-accurate localization of the mixed olfactory/trigeminal stimulus but inability to localize the pure olfactory stimulus. Our results suggest that localization of chemosensory stimuli relies, at least in part, on CC, highlighting its role in interhemispheric communication for olfactory processing.

The results suggest that while the general features of fungiform taste buds are similar between mice and humans, several characteristics differ significantly. Human taste buds are larger and taller than those of mice, yet they contain similar numbers of taste cells. Taste buds in humans are more heavily innervated by gustatory nerve fibers expressing the purinergic receptor P2X3 showing a 40% higher innervation density than in mice. Like type II cells of mice, a subset (about 30%) of cells in human taste buds is immunoreactive for phospholipase C beta (PLCβ2). These PLCβ2-immunoreactive cells display calcium homeostasis modulator 1 (CALHM1)-immunoreactive puncta closely opposed to gustatory nerve fibers suggestive of channel-type synapses in type II cells in mice. These puncta, used as a measure of synaptic contact, are significantly larger in humans compared to mice suggesting a higher efflux of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) neurotransmitter in humans.

Chemosensory disorders such as anosmia (the inability to smell), parosmia (distorted smell), or dysgeusia (altered taste) have major impacts on health and quality of life including difficulty sensing dangers such as fire or spoilage, a diminished palatability of food and drink that can negatively influence diet and nutrition, feelings of social isolation, and an increased incidence of frailty, anxiety, and depression. Smell or taste dysfunction can also be symptoms of other health issues, including sinonasal disease, cancer, or neurodegenerative disease. Aging adults are disproportionately affected. However, smell and taste function are not regularly assessed as a part of routine healthcare despite their prevalence and impact.

Recent studies have aimed to associate the activity of a single OR to an odor descriptor or predict odor descriptors using 2D molecular representation. However, predicting a limited number of odor descriptors is insufficient to fully understand the widespread and elaborate olfactory perception process. Therefore, we conducted structure-activity relationship analyses for ORs of eugenol, vanillin, and structurally similar compounds, investigating the correlation between molecular structures, OR activity profiles, and perceptual odor similarity. Our results indicated that these structurally similar compounds primarily activated 6 ORs, and the activity profiles of these ORs correlated with their perception. This enabled the development of a prediction model for the eugenol-similarity score from OR activity profiles (coefficient of determination, R2 = 0.687). Furthermore, the molecular structures of odorants were represented as 3D shapes and pharmacophore fingerprints, considering the 3D structural similarities between various odorants with multiple conformations. These 3D shape and pharmacophore fingerprints could also predict the perceptual odor similarity (R2 = 0.514). Finally, we identified key molecular structural features that contributed to predicting sensory similarities between compounds structurally similar to eugenol and vanillin. Our models, which predict odor from OR activity profiles and similarities in the 3D structure of odorants, may aid in understanding olfactory perception by compressing the information from a vast number of odorants into the activity profiles of 400 ORs.</p>","PeriodicalId":9771,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Senses","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143064066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
