Background: Obese individuals may perceive the taste of caloric dense food as less intense, resulting in decreased activation of the reward system. Preclinical research provides some insights into the role of GLP-1 in the gustatory coding. The impact of GLP-1 receptor agonists on the tongue and taste perception remains largely unaddressed in clinical settings.Aim: to investigate the impact of semaglutide on the tongue transcriptome, taste perception and ...
