That's actually a really interesting suggesting for further study. It's probably possible. I don't know if the research has been done though. The discovery of the "taste bud" proteins in the gut was a fairly new when I did my project 5 years ago. I don't have journal access so keeping up to date is fairly difficult. Side note, I made a video for it as part of my senior capstone. I often think about making an updated version. For one thing, I'm not sure if everything in it is correct. On top of that, I was incredibly tired, because the only time I could reserve the space I needed was after midnight. I also flubbed a few lines and lost all my b-roll, so editing was a nightmare. In any case, here's the video I did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZGSBi0OFwM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZGSBi0OFwM There are so many things I'd like to change about that video. My graduating class was the first one at my college that was required to perform a senior capstone to graduate, so everything was done by the seat of my pants. I learned later that the Biology department actually used my project as the example for what they wanted all projects to be like. It's far from perfect, but my goal was to take what I had learned and share the information in a way the general public could understand. I was a little overambitious. I learned later that several professors thought I wasn't going to graduate. (I wish I had known that at the time, I would have been doubly motivated.) I'm pretty jealous of the younger students, they turned an old building in to a film studio for producing videos like this. My rig was a bunch of halogen work lights and the best camera I could afford at the time (read: really terrible). The capstone project is why I'm 100% in favor of requiring open journal access. With journal access, anyone can contribute to the scientific community (and society as a whole). I made a video, but people can come up with their own questions and try to answer them, such as the question you asked. Watching the projects other people are doing on YouTube, I'm 100% convinced that open journal access would lead to a scientific revolution.
