Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have clarified that carbonic anhydrase, a zinc enzyme, is a key factor to normalize taste abnormality and anorexia. Actually, immunochromatograph measurement of salivary CA 6 (gustin) of the taste abnormal patients showed the lower activity than healthy subjects. After trying to clarify this mechanism, it has been shown that one of the ZnTs transporter may be involved in this mechanism to activate CA and normal taste sensation. These results provided much more adequate and bettter therapy information for human taste disorder by zinc deficiency.
