Аннотация
To clarify the influence of chronic and excessive alcohol consumption on gustatory function, we examined taste functions of 20 male alcoholics by total oral gustometry using salty, sweet, sour, bitter and glutamate solutions. As results, all patients showed markedly impaired taste in all kinds of solutions comparing with age and sex matched healthy persons, nevertheless none of them recognized their impaired taste. Serum zinc levels of all patients were within reference range, but the most of them were within lower part of reference level. Although average serum zinc level increased significantly after 5 weeks of admission, serum zinc level showed no significant correlation with taste function. From these findings, we concluded that alcoholics had impaired taste functions probably due to impaired peripheral nervous system.
