Authors: Naima S. Dahir, Ashley N. Calder, Blake J. McKinley, Yan Liu, Timothy A. Gilbertson
From the authors: “Overall, our results validate that steroid hormones influence taste-guided behaviors in males and females. Particularly, estrogen can enhance fatty acid-taste behaviors in females and is an important component of the underlying process influencing sex differences in fat taste responses.”
This study is highlighted as one of March’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society’s APSselect program.
