Résumé

The spontaneous preference for dietary fat is regulated by two lingual lipid sensors ( and ) in humans and rodents. Our objective was to investigate whether obesity in children is associated with methylation of lipid sensor genes, and whether this alteration was implicated in altered gustatory perception of fat and bitter and increased preference of palatable foods.
