Comparison of salivary proteome of children with different sensitivities for bitter and sweet tastes: association with body mass index

Abstract: Background/objectives Oral sensorial perception is a key aspect in food choices and knowing the mechanisms modulating such perception is of major importance in the context of child obesity, which is reaching high rates in Mediterranean countries. Salivary proteome has been linked to taste sensitivity in adults. The aim of this Search E-alert Submit Login nature international journal of obesity articles article study was to search for differences in salivary proteomes of children with different bitter or sweet … Show more

“…Due to the potential association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and saliva composition [13,25], height and weight were assessed and measured according to the European Health Examination Survey procedures [26]. Since the relationship between food intake and obesity was not a major aim of this study, only BMI was assessed (rather than other anthropometric measures) for controlling a possible effect in saliva composition.…”

“…Under these conditions, monkeys should select food items high in energy (carbohydrates, fatty-acids), but low in PSMs (tannins). Some studies in humans have found a relationship between sweet taste sensitivity and salivary proteins as cystatins (Rodrigues et al, 2019) and CA-VI (Rodrigues et al, 2017). We found in howler monkeys saliva four varieties of cystatins (Table 1 and 2), which may help them to increase their sensitivity for sweet foods, although it remains to be investigated.…”
