Obesity-related inflammation has been linked to decreased taste sensitivity and changes in the transcriptome of the taste apparatus. Increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines can also be found to be food-associated in individuals who consume high amounts of long-chain saturated fatty acids and sucrose independent of the body composition or individuals who exercise intensively. Previous research suggests a link between taste sensitivity and food choices. However, the interplay between food- or exercise-induced low-grade inflammation, taste perception, and food choices remains unaddressed. Understanding this relationship could provide an unnoticed explanation for interindividual differences in taste perception that influences dietary habits.

关于味觉可塑性的新观点：食物和运动引起的炎症是否与甜味敏感性和偏好相关？


肥胖相关的炎症与味觉敏感性降低和味觉器官转录组的变化有关。对于摄入大量长链饱和脂肪酸和蔗糖的个体或剧烈运动的个体，促炎细胞因子水平的升高也与食物相关，而与身体成分无关。先前的研究表明味觉敏感性和食物选择之间存在联系。然而，食物或运动引起的低度炎症、味觉和食物选择之间的相互作用仍未得到解决。了解这种关系可以为影响饮食习惯的个体间味觉差异提供一个未被注意到的解释。
