The effects of genotype (T1R1+/− vs. T1R1−/−), conditioning (saline vs. LiCl) and concentration were analysed by three-way ANOVA. The table is based on data shown in Figs 9 and 10. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ANOVA. Interactions were significantly different in genotype × conditioning and conditioning × concentration for MSG, CS + AIDA, CS + CPPG and CS + AIDA + CPPG (genotype × conditioning for CS + CPPG, P < 0.05; others, P < 0.001; ANOVA). Abbreviations: AIDA, (RS)-1-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid; CPPG, (RS)-α-cyclopropyl-4- phosphonophenylglycine; CS, conditioned stimulus; MSG, monosodium glutamate; and QHCl, quinine hydrocholoride.
