Le point sur... Perspectives thérapeutiques des inhibiteurs du goût sucré
2015
Nous percevons le goût sucré à l’aide d’un récepteur unique, appelé T1R2/T1R3. Ce récepteur nous permet de détecter tous les divers composés chimiques que nous percevons comme sucrés. De façon surprenante, des études récentes ont montré qu’il était présent dans de nombreux tissus et organes en dehors de la cavité orale. Parce qu’il joue un rôle dans le contrôle métabolique, ce récepteur représente une cible potentielle et prometteuse pour le traitement de l’obésité et des maladies métaboliques, telles que le diabète et l’obésité via notamment l’utilisation d’inhibiteurs spécifiques.
Brain mechanisms of the odor-induced taste enhancement in people living with normalweight and obesity: sensory and electroencephalography studies
2022
Some odors have the property of enhancing the taste perception, whether it is sweet, salty, acidic or umami. It is therefore possible to enhance the perception of a taste by using odorant ingredients in food. The integration of taste and odor results in the perception of a unique quality for the food, called the flavor. The mechanism that results from this integration, called odor-induced taste enhancement (OITE), has been little studied in the literature in normal weight (NW) and obese (OB) individuals. It has been observed that the odor-induced taste enhancement is higher in OB compared to NP, for a single product tested. The brain structures involved in OITE have already been identified,…
Evidence for interactions between aroma compounds and the CB1 receptor: a way to regulate food intake?
2012
National audience; Obesity is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, characterised by a chronic imbalance of energy homeostasis. The regulation of dietary intake appears to be an effective way to regulate this imbalance. Furthermore, it is now well established that the endocannabinoid system influences appetite via the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1): CB1 agonists can promote food intake while CB1 antagonists tend to decrease appetite (1). Interestingly, recent studies showed that CB1-like receptors are expressed in the olfactory epithelium of Xenopus laevis tadpoles (2). Elsewhere, it has been demonstrated that aroma perception is implicated in the process of satiety (3). Co…

Impacts of obesity on the oro-sensory perception of lipids in Human
2010
Accumulating evidences support the existence of a fatty acid taste both in rodents and humans. A recent study performed in lean subjects suggests the existence of a positive correlation between the oro-sensory perception of dietary lipids and body mass index (BMI) in Human. It was extrapolated that obesity might promote overconsumption of fatty foods by decreasing the detection of lipids in oral cavity. To explore this hypothesis, linoleic acid (LA) detection threshold was determined in lean (18>BMI 30, n=29) volunteers using a 3-alternative force choice ascending concentration presentation procedure in conditions known to minimize other sensory cues. A large distribution of LA detection wa…
In-mouth mechanism leading to the perception of fat and its consequence on post-prandial lipid metabolism in humans. The particular role of saliva
2014
In humans, the in-mouth perception of dietary fat in food is a complex process involving many sensory modalities (texture, aroma, taste and trigeminal). During food oral processing, a bolus is formed in which saliva is significantly incorporated thus contributing significantly to the perception of fat. In particular, it has been shown that the levels of some salivary characteristics (lipolysis, lysozyme, flux, antioxidant status, level of carbonic anhydrase and proteins) are related to the sensitivity of the individual to triolein and oleic acid. Interestingly, the involvement of some of these salivary variables in the perceived intensity and preference towards model oil emulsions was also …
Modalités fonctionnelles et évolutives des parasitoses développées par les crabes Pinnotheridae aux dépens des échinides fouisseurs
2010
Ce travail s’est intéressé aux liens existant entre la stratégie d’exploitation développée par un crustacé ectoparasite et son comportement reproductif. Le crabe Pinnotheridae Dissodactylusprimitivus exploite deux espèces Spatangidae vivant dans la Mer des Caraïbes, Meomaventricosa et Plagiobrissus grandis. Des approches comportementales, démographiques etgénétiques ont été adoptées afin de mettre en lumière le fonctionnement et la biologie de cettesymbiose. Par son comportement alimentaire, le crabe occasionne des lésions tégumentairessur ses hôtes. Celles-ci affectent la fitness de M. ventricosa, au travers de son développementgonadique. Dissodactylus primitivus exploite ses deux espèces …
Effets de la variabilité inter-individuelles et des interactions intra-guildes sur les stratégies d'approvisionnement de carabes consommateurs de gra…
2017
Making a choice requires, implicitly, an investment of time in one behaviour at the expense of an investment in another. Being choosy would increase the risk of losing many food item opportunities to competitors, and is directly in conflict with other essential tasks such as predator avoidance. Individuals are thus expected to adjust their level of choosiness in response to the competition and predation context. The available behavioural ecological theory and the empirical ecology of carabids would suggest that competition and predation interference induces changes in the foraging behaviour of carabid individuals. Carabids typically operate within communities in which competition and predat…
Redshifted Cherenkov Radiation for in vivo Imaging: Coupling Cherenkov Radiation Energy Transfer to multiple Förster Resonance Energy Transfers
2017
AbstractCherenkov Radiation (CR), this blue glow seen in nuclear reactors, is an optical light originating from energetic β-emitter radionuclides. CR emitter 90Y triggers a cascade of energy transfers in the presence of a mixed population of fluorophores (which each other match their respective absorption and emission maxima): Cherenkov Radiation Energy Transfer (CRET) first, followed by multiple Förster Resonance Energy transfers (FRET): CRET ratios were calculated to give a rough estimate of the transfer efficiency. While CR is blue-weighted (300–500 nm), such cascades of Energy Transfers allowed to get a) fluorescence emission up to 710 nm, which is beyond the main CR window and within t…
Détection orosensorielle des lipides alimentaires chez la souris : mécanismes impliqués et altérations au cours de l'obésité
2015
Dietary lipids are detected by the gustatory system in rodents and humans. Two candidate lipid-receptors are found in taste buds: CD36, which is involved in the fat taste as shown by studies conducted in our laboratory, and GPR120. Our results show that GPR120 is not directly involved in the gustatory detection of lipids in mice, but could rather be involved in the modulation of the sensitivity for fat. When this gustatory system works properly, food choices can meet the organism’s energy needs. Besides, the pleasure brought by the consumption of palatable foods is satisfied. However, obese people often overconsume energy-dense food. In the central nervous system, perturbations of the rewar…
