(A) Mean (±SEM) total protein of UWMS of younger (18–30 years, n = 31) and older (60+ years, n = 25) participants. *p = <0.05. (B) Mean (±SEM) total protein of WMS following 1 min of 1 ml mouth rinse of taste or TRP agonist or 1-min smelling of menthol of younger (18–30 years, n = 31) and older (60+ years, n = 25) participants, assessed using BCA assay. Total protein (μg/μl) following taste/TRP stimulation expressed as a ratio of total protein (μg/μl) following water rinse. Total protein (μg/μl) following menthol odor stimulation expressed as a ratio of resting total protein (μg/μl).
