Analysis of Concentration-response Relationship for Enhanced Sugar Responses of the Chorda Tympani Nerve in the Diabetic db/db Mouse

Abstract

Chorda tympani responses to sugars were greater in diabetic (db/db) than in non-diabetic control mice. A kinetic analysis suggested that the greater sugar responses in db/db mice were unlikely due to the increased number of sugar receptors. Chem. Senses 21: 59–63, 1996.
