...For example, earlier findings suggested that different pathways might be potentially involved in perceiving threshold versus suprathreshold concentrations of tastants (6, 72)....

...In addition, it is worth noting that the relationship of taste detection thresholds as measured in the first study to fat perception at above-threshold levels in real-world settings as measured in the second study is often not a direct one (6, 72)....

...Nevertheless, our data are in line with recent observations of attenuated taste sensitivity to monosodium glutamate in obese women (37) and may suggest a more generalized impairment of nutrient-sensing mechanisms in obesity....

..., both employ the taste receptor T1R3 in the dimer that is responsible for recognizing (in part) sweeteners (T1R2+T1R3) and umami (T1R1+T1R3) compounds (12)), this study, using validated psychophysical methodology, examined the perception and preferences of these two taste qualities in obese and normal-weight women....

...The gLMS is a computerized psychophysical tool that requires subjects to rate the perceived intensity along a vertical axis lined with adjectives that are spaced semilogarithmically, based upon experimentally determined intervals to yield ratio-quality data (18)....

...Before suprathreshold intensity testing, each subject was first familiarized with use of the general Labeled Magnitude Scale (gLMS) (18) with the top of the scale described as the “strongest imaginable” sensation of any kind (1) by rating the intensity of 10 oral and nonoral sensations (e....
