.... These sensilla responded exclusively to sucrose, glucose and inositol. Second, we determined the response properties of the carbohydrate-sensitive taste cells within both sensilla. We found that one class of carbohydrate-sensitive taste cell responded to sucrose, and two other classes each responded to glucose...

...John I. Glendinning; Nancy M. Nelson; Elizabeth A. Bernays ABSTRACT Many species of caterpillar possess taste cells that respond exceptionally vigorously to the sugar alcohol myo -inositol. We examined the functional significance of these inositol-sensitive taste cells in Manduca sexta caterpillars...

...Y Okada; T Miyamoto; T Sato ABSTRACT The ionic mechanism of the conductance activated by acetic acid was analyzed in isolated bullfrog taste cells under whole-cell voltage-clamp. Bath-application of acetic acid (pH 3.9–4.7) induced an inward current in about 80 % of the taste cells. The current...
