Obesity is a significant public health problem, yet some individuals are less susceptible to the development of obesity. High fat eating patterns are commonly associated with overweight/obesity. The taste system is the gatekeeper of digestion and the sense of taste responds to fat, and that the fat taste response is associated with obesity. Using twins as subjects to disentangle the influences of 'nature and nuture', in this project we will identify the mechanisms responsible for linking fat taste response to development of obesity.

肥胖是一个重大的公共健康问题，但一些人不太容易患上肥胖症。高脂肪饮食模式通常与超重/肥胖有关。味觉系统是消化的把关人，味觉对脂肪做出反应，而脂肪的味觉反应与肥胖有关。在这个项目中，我们将以双胞胎为研究对象，理清“自然和营养”的影响，找出将脂肪的味觉反应与肥胖的发生联系起来的机制。
