Clinical Trial: Gustin Gene Polymorphism and 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) Taste

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational




Official Title: Sensitivity to 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) Association With Gustin (CA6) Gene Polymorphism, Salivary Zinc and BMI in Humans

Brief Summary: The investigators evaluate the possible association of PROP taste with gustin gene polymorphism rs2274333 (A/G), salivary zinc ion concentration and BMI. In addition, it has also been evaluated PROP taste sensitivity by recording monophasic potentials from the tongue.
