Abstract
The present study was undertaken to clarify the effect of dietary protein level on the response of the taste nerve to NaCl solutions in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). The results showed that the taste sensitivity to NaCl in SHRs fed a 5% whole-egg protein diet for 3 weeks was significantly lower than in those fed a 15% protein diet. This observation suggests that chronic feeding of a low-protein diet causes an impairment of salt-taste reception or subsequent transduction. Chem. Senses 20: 345-348, 1995.
