N. Sako et al., ANALYSIS OF CONCENTRATION-RESPONSE RELATIONSHIP FOR ENHANCED SUGAR RESPONSES OF THE CHORDA TYMPANI NERVE IN THE DIABETIC DB DB MOUSE/, Chemical senses, 21(1), 1996, pp. 59-63
Chorda tympani responses to sugars were greater in diabetic (db/db) th
an in non-diabetic control mice. A kinetic analysis suggested that the
greater sugar responses in db/db mice were unlikely due to the increa
sed number of sugar receptors.
