| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, to elucidate the mechanisms of changes in body temperature induced by food intake, we focused on thermo TRP channels that have been indicated to have physiological roles in a perception of temperature and examined changes in body temperatures induced by food components activating these channels with mice. We found that the intake of food components which activate TRPV1, TRPM8, and TRPA1, respectively, changed body temperatures with the activation-temperature-range of each TRP channel, and suggested that these changes in body temperature were mediated by each TRP channel.
