Sensory, particularly chemosensory, experiences play an important role in food intake as well as digestive and metabolic processes which influence nutrient utilization in humans. This review first presents evidence that the sensory properties of foods and the sensory capacities of individuals with marked, marginal or no apparent nutrient deficiencies influence dietary practices. This is followed by a consideration of data demonstrating an impact of oral sensory stimulation on salivary, gastric and both exocrine and endocrine pancreatic secretion. Next, because of the absence of human studies, animal models are described which demonstrate that chemosensory stimulation can alter nutrient absorption. Finally, studies on preterm infants are presented as evidence that oral stimulation alone can influence growth efficiency. While an understanding of these issues remains incomplete, applications of existing knowledge could hold important nutritional and clinical implications.
感官体验，尤其是化学感应体验，在食物摄入以及影响人体营养利用的消化和代谢过程中发挥着重要作用。本综述首先提供证据表明，食物的感官特性以及营养缺乏程度显著、轻微或无明显营养缺乏个体的感官能力会影响饮食习惯。接下来考虑的数据表明，口腔感官刺激对唾液、胃液以及胰腺外分泌和内分泌分泌均有影响。由于缺乏人体研究，因此描述了动物模型，这些模型表明化学感应刺激可以改变营养吸收。最后，介绍了对早产儿的研究，作为仅口腔刺激就能影响生长效率的证据。虽然对这些问题的理解仍不完整，但现有知识的应用可能具有重要的营养和临床意义。
