- The Obese Taste Bud (OTB) Study aims to explore the relationship between taste perception, taste cell health, and obesity, using a cohort of participants from the University of Leipzig.
- Participants are assessed through various tests including taste and smell evaluations, body measurements, and collection of biological samples, with follow-up on weight loss interventions.
- Initial results suggest that metabolic factors, diet, and age may significantly influence taste perception, with the study intending to enhance understanding of how these elements contribute to obesity.
