Furthermore, different modulators such as leptin, ghrelin, and insulin and the plasma concentration of glucose have been demonstrated to be involved in the sweet sensation of sweet-sensing taste cells [15,16] (for example, a certain degree of reduction in taste bud percentage has been associated with obesity [14]) and to modulate gustatory pathways at higher levels [16,17]. Here, LEP is linked to obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
