(a.) Having the power of affecting the organs of taste; possessing savor, or flavor.
Example Sentences:
(1) The remaining 35 neurons responded significantly to at least some sapid stimuli.
(2) Test stimuli consisted of sapid solutions of NaCl (0.1 M), HCl (0.01 M), sucrose (0.5 M), Na-saccharin (0.004 M) and quinine-HCl (0.01 M).
(3) Sapid solutions of NaCl (0.1 M), HCl (0.01 M), sucrose (0.5 M), saccharin sodium (0.004 M), and quinine HCl (.01 M) were used as taste stimuli.
(4) Deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) were tested for taste preferences in 48-hour, Richter-type drinking tests (sapid solution versus distilled water).
(5) For example, sapid sucrose, NaCl and HCl stimuli elicited a response sequence beginning with low amplitude, rhythmic mouth movements, followed by rhythmic tongue protrusions, and then lateral tongue movements.
(6) These data suggest that about half of the LHA neurons increased their activity in anticipatory (searching or approaching) periods just before ingestion, and decreased activity in rewarding periods during ingestion of water or sapid solutions.
(7) Like the odorant-binding proteins, this protein shows similarity to members of a protein superfamily of hydrophobic molecule transporters, indicating that pre-receptor events could also be necessary for the concentration and delivery of sapid molecules in the gustatory system, and emphasizing the close relationship of taste and olfaction.
(8) Of these, 25 responded only to one of four sapid stimuli; 20 of these specific cells responded only to NaCl.
(9) First, multiunit responses from the dorsal pons were mapped using sapid, thermal, and tactile stimuli applied to the anterior tongue.
(10) The present study tested the effects of bilateral section of either the chorda tympani or glossopharyngeal nerves on the production of oro-pharyngeal electromyographic (EMG) responses to intra-oral sapid stimulation.
(11) We measured the reward strength of HVD and other sapid substances with operant techniques.
(12) Stepwise modification at each chiral center around the sugar ring allows the sapid functions in these molecules to be mapped and leads to the inescapable conclusion that sugar molecules may be "polarized" on taste bud receptors, so that one end of the molecule elicits sweetness and the other bitterness.
(13) Type 2 and type 3 microenvironments fix peroxidase (a sapid macromolecule) with increasing affinity.
(14) VEG protein might control access of lipophilic sapid molecules, such as bitter substances, to the gustatory receptors.
(15) A total of 51 single neurons was recorded from the pontine parabrachial nuclei of three rats being given sapid stimuli either via intraoral infusions or during spontaneous licking behavior.
(16) In 101 of these neurons, at least one sapid stimulus elicited a significant taste response.
(17) Six male cynomolgus monkeys, maintained on an 18-h water deprivation schedule, were given 30 min access daily to a sapid stimulus or distilled water.
(18) First, for each neuron, the responses elicited during licking and intraoral infusions were compared for each of the four standard sapid stimuli.
(19) These specific groups, however, were joined in a ring-like formation by other neurons that responded to more than one of the sapid stimuli.
(20) For further clarification of the relation between these orofacial movements (the buccal phase of ingestion) and the act of swallowing (the pharyngeal phase), electromyographic responses to intraoral sapid stimulation were recorded from a subset of orofacial and pharyngeal muscles in a freely moving chronic preparation.
Sipid
Definition:
(a.) Having a taste or flavorl savory; sapid.
Example Sentences:
(1) Sipid mediators of inflammation have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) related pulmonary damage in patients with cystic fibrosis.
