|June 16, 1978
Resumen
Los pacientes con cáncer desarrollaron aversiones gustativas al helado después de las náuseas inducidas por la quimioterapia. Esto sugiere que los síntomas de los tratamientos contra el cáncer pueden reducir el apetito al alterar las preferencias alimentarias en los niños.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Oncología Oncología.
- Gastroenterología y Gastroenterología.
- Ciencias del comportamiento Ciencias del comportamiento.
Sus antecedentes:
- Los pacientes con cáncer a menudo experimentan pérdida de apetito durante el tratamiento.
- La quimioterapia puede causar toxicidad gastrointestinal, incluyendo náuseas y vómitos.
- Las aversiones a los alimentos son un factor potencial que contribuye a la reducción de la ingesta oral.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el desarrollo de aversiones al gusto en pacientes pediátricos con cáncer.
- Para determinar si la toxicidad gastrointestinal inducida por la quimioterapia influye en las preferencias alimentarias.
- Explorar el vínculo entre las aversiones al gusto y la pérdida de apetito en esta población.
Principales métodos:
- A los pacientes pediátricos con enfermedades neoplásicas se les ofreció un nuevo sabor a helado antes de la quimioterapia.
- La preferencia alimentaria se evaluó mediante la observación de las elecciones posteriores del helado.
- Los pacientes que experimentaron toxicidad gastrointestinal se compararon con los controles.
Principales resultados:
- Los pacientes que experimentaron toxicidad gastrointestinal tenían menos probabilidades de elegir el helado nuevamente en comparación con los controles.
- Esto indica una aversión aprendida al sabor del helado.
- Los hallazgos sugieren una aversión al gusto condicionada.
Conclusiones:
- Los síntomas inducidos por la quimioterapia pueden conducir al desarrollo de aversiones al gusto en niños con cáncer.
- Las aversiones gustativas aprendidas pueden contribuir significativamente a la pérdida de apetito observada en pacientes con cáncer.
- Comprender estas aversiones es crucial para el apoyo nutricional durante la terapia contra el cáncer.

01:20Taste Buds and Receptors
Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...
01:27Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists
5-HT3 receptor antagonists, such as dolasetron, granisetron (Kytril), ondansetron (Zofran), and palonosetron (Axoli), are crucial in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and postoperative nausea. These drugs selectively block 5-HT3 receptors in the visceral vagal and spinal afferent nerves, chemoreceptor trigger zone, and the vomiting center. They have a rapid onset of action and can be given as a single dose before chemotherapy. Ondansetron and granisetron, in particular,...
01:28Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy. SP binds and activates these...
01:29Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Dopamine Receptor Antagonists
Dopamine receptor antagonists, also known as antipsychotic agents, are critical in managing chemotherapy-induced vomiting. These antiemetic agents block dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), inhibiting signal transmission to the vomiting center. Antipsychotic agents encompass phenothiazines (PTZ), butyrophenones, benzamides, and thienobenzodiazepines (Zyprexa), which are utilized for their antiemetic and sedative properties.

01:21Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a phytocannabinoid that primarily interacts with the CB1 receptor, a type of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) predominantly in and around the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and emetic center. THC also blocks the serotonin receptor activity in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) by inhibiting serotonin release. THC exerts its anti-emetic effects through these interactions, which are beneficial for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

01:14Conditioned Taste Aversion
Conditioned taste aversion, also known as sauce béarnaise syndrome, is a phenomenon in which an individual develops an aversion to a certain food taste following a negative experience, typically illness. This form of aversion is a type of classical conditioning in which the taste of the food (conditioned stimulus, CS) is associated with the experience of illness (unconditioned stimulus, UCS).
A notable characteristic of conditioned taste aversion is that it often requires only a single exposure...
