Circadian Regulation of Taste Sensitivity in Human and Rat Active Periods

2026-04-20

Abstract excerpt

Most organisms exhibit endogenous 24-h rhythms that align physiology and behavior with the time of day; however, whether taste sensitivity oscillates in a circadian manner remains unclear, limiting our understanding of its role in feeding behavior. Here, we show that sensitivity to sweet and bitter tastes exhibits circadian modulation, peaking during the active period: daytime in humans and the dark phase in noctu...
