Oral amiloride treatment decreases taste sensitivity to sodium salts in C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mice.

abstract：:Strong electrical stimulation (ES) of the frog glossopharyngeal (GP) efferent nerve induced slow depolarizing potentials (DPs) in taste cells under hypoxia. This study aimed to elucidate whether the slow DPs were postsynaptically induced in taste cells. After a block of parasympathetic nerve (PSN) ganglia by tubocurar...
