Abstract

Cystic fibrosis is consistently accompanied by the ability to taste and smell salt, sweet, sour, and bitter substances in solution at concentrations much more dilute than those at which the substances are detectable by normal persons. These abnormal thresholds are not affected by the administration of carbohydrate-active steroids.
