Application

(±)-2-(p-Methoxyphenoxy)propionic acid may be used as a sweet taste receptor antagonist to study its effect on allulose-induced glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) secretion rats. It may also be used to study the response of the secretin tumor cell line (STC-1) to sweetener in the presence and absence of (±)-2-(p-methoxyphenoxy)propionic acid or lactisole.

Biochem/physiol Actions

As a taste modulator, the sodium salt inhibits the perception of sweetness in humans, but not in rats.

Cypha, propionic acid, 2-(4-methoxyphenol) salt, is a commercially available sweet taste inhibitor used in food products. The present study examined whether or not Cypha blocked the sweet taste response of rats. This was accomplished by measuring the consummatory response of

This study sought to derive and validate plasma metabolite associations with survival in heart failure (HF) patients. Profiling of plasma metabolites to predict the course of HF appears promising, but validation and incremental value of these profiles are less established. Patients

A major challenge in robotics and computational neuroscience is relative to the posture/movement problem in presence of kinematic redundancy. We recently addressed this issue using a principled approach which, in conjunction with nonlinear inverse optimization, allowed capturing postural strategies such

The biological functions of cell membranes strongly influence the binding and transport of molecular species. We developed STC-1 cell line stably expressing the sweet taste receptor (T1R2/T1R3), and explored the possible correlation between sweeteners and membrane dipole potential of STC-1
