“…Contact endoscopic findings of the smokers' tongues suggest alteration in the morphology of fungiform papillae and alterations in their vascular supply which cause higher electrogustometric thresholds [4]. Grant et al, in 1987 compared the evoked taste threshold in smokers and nonsmokers using electrogustometry and reported a significant elevation in taste threshold with age in both smokers and non-smokers. This was attributed to the decrease in number of papillae and number of taste buds per papilla with ageing [14].…”

“…A particularly useful method for the evaluation of taste deficiency is electrogustometry (Frank and Smith, 1991 (Grant et al, 1987). Affected areas may have a higher threshold level, perhaps as high as +350 mA (Grant et al, 1989).…”

“…RĂ©cemment, des travaux immuno-histochimiques ont mis en Ă©vidence des boutons « en passant » provenant de neurones du NL sur des neurones gustatifs du NTS [37], ce qui laisse penser que certains neurones du NL pourraient participer Ă  la modulation centrale du signal gustatif. Ces donnĂ©es sont renforcĂ©es par les Ă©tudes effectuĂ©es chez l'homme qui indiquent que les patients souffrant de lĂ©sions ou neuropathies trigĂ©minales prĂ©sentent des anomalies de la fonction gustative [38]. Enfin chez l'homme la mesure des seuils EGM a montrĂ© que la perte de certaines affĂ©rences dentaires modifie les seuils de dĂ©tection gustatifs, suggĂšrant l'implication des neurones sensitifs primaires innervant les dents dans la modulation du signal gustatif [11].…”
