This project investigates the physiological and cultural roles of spices, focusing on how natural compounds interact with specific ion channels in the body. The research aims to uncover the mechanisms behind the health benefits attributed to spices and their effects on human well-being.
An emerging topic in nutrition research is to understand the role of spices both culturally and physiologically beyond just being taste givers.
Anecdotally numerous health benefits have been ascribed to naturally derived compounds from spices but the molecular mechanisms through which spices mediate their effects remain largely unknown.
Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels expressed in sensory neurons respond to natural compounds and especially spices and herbal medicines.
