Effect of Umami Taste of Monosodium Glutamate on Early Humoral and Metabolic Changes in the Rat

  • Conference paper
Olfaction and Taste XI

Abstract

Nutritional substrates in the internal milieu act on their specific effectors to produce the appropriate endocrine responses and, as a result, their proper cellular utilization. Before reaching the internal milieu, nutrients have been in contact with the oral and gastrointestinal walls and their nutrient specific receptors. It was shown that specific neuronal messages from the gustatory and gastrointestinal system reach hypothalamic structures [1–3] and trigger endocrine and metabolic responses in an anticipatory way; that is, they produce an effect similar to the one they produce after having reached the systemic compartment. These anticipatory responses were shown to be sensory-specific [4].
