Interesting discovery that comes to us from the Universidad de Valencia, where he Center for Biomedical Research Network, in your subject area Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition (CIBEROBN), has been able to demonstrate the relationship between obese people and the taste they perceive. They have concluded that overweight patients also have serious problems identifying a specific flavor. After the study carried out on a sample of 381 subjects, experts have also identified a gene associated with perception total flavors. Here we continue to tell you about this pioneering find.
Obese people and taste, a relevant topic
Until now there was no clear scientific evidence that obese people and the taste that they perceived had that inverse relationship that has recently been discovered. The coordinator of the UV, Dolores Corella, Along the Human Nutrition Research Center of Boston, has been investigating to find the key. The pioneering results have already been published in the journal American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. It is the first time that such a link has been detected between the men and women analyzed, between 55 and 75 years old.
'Studies with laboratory mice have shown that the inflammation that usually exists in obesity is capable of destroying the taste buds. Therefore, this would be the consequence between obese people and taste, "he explains. Dolores Corella. In addition, your team creates the following hypothesis, based on that first question: that less ability to taste would determine that they had to consume more food enough flavor information to reach the brain. This, to provoke the signs of satiety and stop eating.
Thus, firm steps have been taken thanks to the study of the CYBEROBN, which could change the future Diets healthier for these people. Always so that patients suffering from obesity can improve their situation and body weight. Hence, the finding is relevant, because taking into account how the flavor is perceived will help to elaborate some proper meals to each person. The scientific team is now working on precisely this, emphasizing including tasty food.
The taste gene
As to LRRC32 gene found, this represents an advance in the study that Genetic and environmental factors determine the preferences to ingest one or other products. Something that would explain why obese people eat more some favorite foods. For now, they will continue with these lines of research to be able to produce results as interesting as these.
