Gustometry in various variants of bronchial asthma: Sensitivity thresholds for bitter and sweet tast

The first studies were published on the possible pathogenetic role of so-called ectopically localized taste receptors in bronchial asthma. The receptors for bitter and sweet taste, may, apparently, have opposite functions, but in available literature there is no data on the balance of sensitivity fo...
