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.
