Analysis of concentration-response relationship for enhanced sugar responses of the chorda tympani nerve in the diabetic db/db mouse.
Chorda tympani responses to sugars were greater in diabetic (db/db) than in non-diabetic control mice. A kinetic analysis suggested that the greater sugar responses in db/db mice were unlikely due to the increased number of sugar receptors.
