Linoleic acid induces calcium signaling, Src kinase phosphorylation, and neurotransmitter release in mouse CD36-positive gustatory cells.
2008
We have recently demonstrated that the cells expressing CD36, localized apically on the taste buds of mouse lingual circumvallate papillae, act as gustatory cells. In the present study we isolated these CD36-positive cells from mouse circumvallate papillae and investigated intracellular signaling events, triggered by a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, i.e. linoleic acid (LA). LA induced increases in free intracellular calcium concentrations, [Ca(2+)](i), by recruiting calcium from endoplasmic reticulum pool via inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate production followed by calcium influx via opening of store-operated calcium (SOC) channels. LA also induced phosphorylation of Src-protein-tyrosine …
Mécanismes de la perception gustative des lipides alimentaires
2008
> L’obesite constitue indeniablement un des problemes majeurs de sante publique de ce debut du XXIe siecle. Sa prevalence est en constante augmentation notamment chez les enfants. Ce constat n’est pas anodin car l’obesite est souvent associee a diverses pathologies graves (atteintes vasculaires, diabete de type 2, hypertension, cancer). L’opulence alimentaire, en nous permettant de satisfaire nos appetits specifiques, contribue a ce phenomene. C’est ainsi que dans le regime occidental, les lipides alimentaires representent pres de 40 % des apports caloriques journaliers alors que les recommandations nutritionnelles sont inferieures de 5 a 10 %. L’origine de cette attirance pour les corps gr…
