SUMMARY:Although various neuropsychochemical theories have been established about why breastfeeding mothers feel hedonic sensation, the underlying neural mechanism has not been adequately clarified. We aimed to investigate if there is hedonic sensation-initiated taste-bud like structures stimulated by sugars in the milk-secreting lactiferous ducts of mammary glands of breastfeeding female rats. In this study, twenty-two female rats were chosen which six of the virgin (n=6), six of pregnant (n=6) and ten of breastfeeding (n=10). We examined lactiferous ducts/nipples of mammary glands of all animals. They were sacrificed following intracardiac formalin injection, and their breast tissues were removed with covering tissues and fixed with 10 % of formalin solution. After current histological procedures, the tissues were examined by light microscope to assess taste-bud like structures, and their numerical densities were calculated by using stereological methods. Results were analyzed statistically. Taste-buds like structures with neuron-like appendages at the apical ends were discovered in lactiferous ducts. The taste rosea numbers were estimated as 3±1/mm 3 in virgins, 167±27/mm 3 in pregnant and 375±63/mm 3 in breastfeeding animals. The taste rosea numbers were greater in breastfeeding rats than those of virgins and pregnant rats. They named as taste rosea resembling flower bucket which has not been mentioned in the literature so far. T.; OZMEN, S.; AYDIN, N.; AYDIN, M.

New description of vagal nerve commanted intrapancreatic taste buds and blood glucose level: An experimental analysis

“…Tongue taste information conveys with facial, glossopharyngeal, vagal nerves 2 ; genital-mammarial taste bud information carry with pudendal nerves in animals. 3,4 All of those networks may be responsible for body glucose regulation. Our previous studies have shown that blood glucose regulating mechanisms should include mammarial and genital taste buds in addition to oral taste buds and pancreas.…”

“…21 Our previous studies and publications proved that pleasurecreating hedonic sensations originating from taste bud including organs such as tongue, mammary gland and genitalia reach to the spinal cord and mentioned higher brain centers to regulate all body-organ glucose levels. 3,4 How the pancreas feels blood sugar, which cell group firstly informs glucose regulation requirement, and how the first information is created in the pancreas has not yet been clearly defined. According to our hypotheses, All values given mean ± standard deviation, Group I: Normal, Group II: Hyperglicemic, Group III: Hypoglicemic.…”
