Table 3

Increases in LMSG secretion induced by tastant of No. 5.

		S (sweet)	N (salty)	T (sour)	Q (bitter)	G (umami)
No. 5	S (sweet)	-	0.999	<0.00	0.826	<0.00
	N (salty)		-	<0.00	0.697	<0.00
	T (sour)			-	<0.00	0.967
	Q (bitter)				-	<0.00

Statistical differences were analysed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s honestly significant difference test; numerical value means value between one tastant and another: (asterisk) means significant; .
