The macronutrient content of a meal modulates subsequent 'dessert' intake, via Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21)
C.-T. Wu, K. R. Larson, L. C. Sims, K. K. Ryan
The study shows that a low protein pre-load increases subsequent high protein intake in mice, but does not reduce sweet dessert consumption, suggesting FGF21's role in protein intake rather than sweet food suppression.
