Where this comes from

Abstract

Links between FGF21 and carbohydrate consumption have recently been described, with both genomic associations and elevated FGF21 levels in healthy subjects following sugar ingestion. In this issue, von Holstein-Rathlou et al. (2016) and Talukdar et al. (2016) demonstrate a mechanistic role for FGF21 in the regulation of macronutrient preference.
