耶鲁大学的研究人员在昆虫中发现了选择性糖受体，为动物味觉提供了线索。 Yale researchers discover selective sugar receptors in insects, shedding light on animal taste perception.
昆虫有多种受体可以检测特定类型的糖，从而深入了解动物如何辨别化学世界。 Insects have multiple receptors that detect specific types of sugars, providing insight into how animals discern the chemical world. 与人类对所有甜味物质只有一种受体不同，耶鲁大学的研究人员发现，昆虫的选择性受体将有助于理解动物的味觉感知并可能模仿它。 Unlike humans with one receptor for all sweet substances, Yale researchers discovered that insects' selective receptors will help understand animal taste perception and potentially mimic it. 这项发表在《自然》杂志上的研究强调了糖对于动物（包括人类）能量的重要性。 The study, published in Nature, emphasizes sugar's importance for energy in animals, including humans.
