Genetic sensitivity to 6-n-propylthiouracil and sensory responses to sugar and fat mixtures.

Physiology & behavior - 1 Mar 1998

Drewnowski A, Henderson S A, Barratt-Fornell A

Abstract excerpt

This study tested the hypothesis that genetic sensitivity to 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) is associated with greater sensitivity to sugar and fat in foods. Subjects were 118 young women from different ethnic backgrounds, mean age 26.9 years and mean body mass index (BMI) 23.4. The women were classified as nontasters (n = 39), medium tasters (n = 48), or supertasters (n = 31) of PROP. Nontasters of PROP had...
