“…Other investigators have found perceptual changes in the presence of xerostomia. [10][11][12] Sensory changes in the oral cavity require further investigation in patients treated with chemoradiation. Increasing our knowledge of any sensory changes should help us in moving the patient back to a more normal diet.…”

“…8 Xerostomia can cause mucositis, oral caries, oral discomfort, abnormalities in taste perception, difficulty manipulating and propelling a bolus, difficulty initiating a pharyngeal swallow, and impaired nutrition. 1,4,[8][9][10][11][12] No study has related patient perception of swallowing problems and oropharyngeal swallow measures to saliva production.…”

“…Reduced resting saliva production may compromise the ionic environment to which the receptors are adjusted, resulting in a change of sensitivity of receptor cells. Indeed surgical removal of submandibular and sublingual glands decreases total salivary sodium and potassium content [43]. However nothing is known about changes in the concentration of the active (ionized) form of these ions and there are no data on changes of calcium content.…”

Chorda tympani nerve modulates the rat's avoidance of calcium chloride

Calcium intake depends on orosensory factors, implying the presence of a mechanism for calcium detection in the mouth. To better understand how information about oral calcium is conveyed to the brain, we examined the effects of chorda tympani nerve transection on calcium chloride (CaCl2) taste preferences and thresholds in male Wistar rats. The rats were given bilateral transections of the chorda tympani nerve (CTX) or control surgery. After recovery, they received 48-h two-bottle tests with an ascending concentration series of CaCl2. Whereas control rats avoided CaCl2 at concentrations of 0.1 mM and higher, rats with CTX were indifferent to CaCl2 concentrations up to 10 mM. Rats with CTX had significantly higher preference scores for 0.316 and 3.16 mM CaCl2 than did control rats. The results imply that the chorda tympani nerve is required for the normal avoidance of CaCl2 solution.
