Which of the following contain statements that are both correct? Aspartame triggers the cellular signaling cascade via activation of cAMP as secondary messenger. Primary role of non-nutritive sweeteners is to provide energy for the body. Increase in cAMP and IP3 levels promotes increase in intracellular Ca+2 ions. Phytochemicals that elicit sweet sensation are considered natural sweeteners. Each taste buds contain only one taste receptor cell type, which results to a predominant taste modality on specific tongue locations. In a 250g carbohydrate meal, a total of 1 kcal of energy is produced. Ligand binding to G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) promotes the activation of heterotrimeric G-proteins. G-proteins are activated through direct phophorylation of GDP that is bound to the a-subunit.
