Early impact of a diabetes inducing high-fructose diet on olfaction in mice
2015
The influence of nutritional status on olfactory processes has been thoroughly investigated over the last few years. It is now well-established that both nutritional status and hormones implicated in food metabolism can effectively modulate the olfactory system from the single neuron to the behavior. Therefore, it seems likely that metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) can induce olfactory dysfunctions. Indeed T2D patients display poor olfactory performances although the direct effects of diabetes on olfaction were not yet demonstrated. Here, we investigated the modulation of olfaction in young adult (5 weeks old) C57Bl/6 male mice caused by a high-fructose diet (HFruD), known t…

Plasticity in the olfactory system: modulation by the odorant environment and diet
2015
As the primary neuronal element in the olfactory system, olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) are responsible for detecting odor molecules, transforming chemical information to electrical signals and sending these signals to the brain. Being exposed to the environment, their lifetime is limited. The olfactory epithelium has the remarkable ability to regenerate sensory neurons throughout life. There is little data showing the effects of the environment, such as odorant exposure, on the properties of OSNs. Similarly, knowledge on the modulation by the physiological state of the animal (i.e. nutritional status) is limited. The long-term goal of our group is to investigate how the OSNs function dur…
