Taste transduction mechanisms for " electric taste "were studied by examining effects of lingual treatment with the sodium channel blockers (amiloride, procaine and tetrodotoxin <TTX>) on the rat chorda tympani nerve responses to chemical and electrical (anodal) stimulations of tongue. The lingual treatment of amiloride produced ion-specific inhibition of integrated responses of the whole chorda tympani nerve to both chemical stimulation with 0.1M NaCl and electrical stimulation with 0.001M NaCl as the bathing medium. Procaine and TTX also suppressed responses to electrical stimulations with 0.001M NaCl, but these drugs produced almost no effect on responses to chemical stimuli alone. Similar ion-specific and/or stimulus-specific inhibitions of amiloride and/or TTX were observed also in responses of single chorda tympani nerve fibers, although the extent of the inhibition of the responses by each drug varied among the fibers. These results suggest that the taste transduction for "electric taste" involves at least three different mechanisms, the first is through a amiloride-sensitive sodium channel, the second through a TTX-sensitive sodium channel, and a third route, not through the amiloride-and TTX-sensitive channels.

Sodium channels participate in the transduction mechanism for "electric taste".
