Aim: Olfaction and gustation have great importance on feeding behavior and food preferences. Recent published data suggests that olfaction and taste functions are modulated in response to changing levels of various molecules such as ghrelin and leptin which are play important roles on feeding and energy balance. We aimed to investigate the olfaction and taste functions in obese female patients and the association between serum ghrelin and leptin levels compared with healthy co...
