Ca2+ imaging studies were performed on CD36-positive TBC in Ca2+-containing (100% Ca2+) media. The changes in intracellular Ca2+ (F340/F380) were monitored under the Nikon microscope (TiU) by using S-fluor 40x oil immersion objectives. Colored time-lapse changes show the kinetics of the rise in [Ca2+]i, induced by TG at 5 µM, in a CD36-positive taste bud cell freshly isolated from CVP of control (A) and obese (B) animals. (C) represents the single traces of observations and the arrow indicates when the test molecule (TG, 5 µM) was added into the cuvette without interruptions in the recording.
