Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology. 1991 Apr; 35(2): 121-4http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/108909Taste sensitivity to Phenyl-thio-Carbamide (PTC) and glucose were studied in 150 females during the 3 trimesters of their pregnancy periods. The taste sensitivity to PTC was determined by Harris and Kalmus method. For taste intensity and hedonic evaluation, 7 concentrations of glucose solutions were used. Taste sensitivity to both PTC and glucose increases during the 1st trimester of pregnancy. In comparison to non-pregnant females (from previous study) taste thresholds and hedonics decreases in pregnancy.engFemaleGlucose --pharmacologyHumansPhenylthiourea --pharmacologyPregnancy --physiologyTaste --geneticsComparative Study
