| Research Abstract |
In this study, we investigated relations of expression characteristics of taste receptor and area of residence and food/food material/composition intake. The subjects that the people were not noticed of dysgeusia, 18-25 years old were recruited. The expression characteristics of taste receptors hTAS2Rs were measured. Food intake was investigated using questionnaire. As a result, the expression characteristics of hTAS2Rs accepted a difference by area of residence. There were relationship between expression characteristics of hTAS2Rs and food/food material/composition intakes was guessed. In contrast, there were no relationship between expression characteristics of hTAS2Rs and intake amount of energy, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates.
