Recently publishedwork and emerging research efforts suggest that olfactory andtaste systems are intimately linked with endocrine systems thatregulate or modify energy balance. During regular cycles offood intake or during disorders of endocrine function,chemoreception may be modulated in response to changinglevels of glucose, insulin, glucagon or incretins. Thissymposium addresses the current knowledge of hormonalmodulation of chemosensory perception and how disruption ofhormonal signaling in the olfactory or taste systems can impactenergy homeostasis or nutrient utilization. The symposium willconsist of presentations on the interactions of endocrinesystems with olfactory and gustatory systems.8:00 am #35 Olfactory epithelium, a tissue under metabolic influencesMarie-Christine Lacroix 1 , Karine Badonnel 2 , NicolasMeunier 1,3 , Patrice Congar 1 , Aïda Rodriguez-Enfedaque 4 ,Flore Renaud 4 , Roland Salesse 1 , Christine Baly 1 , MoniqueCaillol 1 . 1 INRA, UR 1197 Neurobiologie de l’Olfaction etModélisation en Imagerie, Biologie de l’Olfaction etBiosenseurs, Jouy en Josas, France, 2 U1126 MSNC INRAgroup, UPR2197 DEPSN, Institut Fessard, CNRS, Gif surYvette, France, 3 Université de Versailles Saint Quentin enYvelines, Versailles, France, 4 LGBC, UMR 8159CNRS/UVSQ/EPHE, Université de VersaillesSaint Quentin en Yvelines, Versailles, France64 | AChemS Program 2010
