Labeled lines for fat and sugar reward combine to promote overeating

Molly J. McDougle, Alan de Araujo, Macarena Vergara, Mingxin Yang, Arashdeep Singh, Isadora Braga, Nikhil M. Urs, Brandon L. Warren, Guillaume de Lartigue

The paper identifies separate vagal reward circuits for fat and sugar that drive overeating when both are activated, even when calorie intake is controlled.

Central and peripheral GLP-1 systems independently and additively suppress eating

Daniel I. Brierley, Marie K. Holt, Arashdeep Singh, Alan de Araujo, Molly J. McDougle, Macarena Vergara, Majd H. Afaghani, Shin Jae Lee, Karen A. Scott, Calyn B. Maske, Wolfgang Langhans, Eric G. Krause, Annette D. de Kloet, Fiona Mary Gribble, Frank M. Reimann, , Stefan Trapp

The paper shows that central and peripheral GLP-1 systems independently suppress eating, and PPGNTS neuron activation addsitively enhances this effect with GLP-1 agonists.
