Abstract
An amiloride-sensitive transport system is involved in the taste perception of sodium and lithium salts, as well as sweeteners. Taste can be modulated by purinergic compounds such as inosine monophosphate (IMP), as well as antagonists of adenosine, specifically, methyl xanthines. Kainic acid selectively reduced the taste responses to glutamic acid which suggests that the taste of glutamate is not mediated by the identical receptor population as the so-called ‘primary tastes’.
