Abstract
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.
