FGF21 signals through KLB-expressing glutamatergic neurons in the hindbrain to mediate the effects of dietary protein restriction

Redin A. Spann, Sora Q. Kim, Md Shahjalal Hossain Khan, Diana A Albarado, Sun Ok Fernandez‐Kim, Hans‐Rudolf Berthoud, David H. McDougal, Heike Münzberg, Yanlin He, Sangho Yu, Christopher D. Morrison

The paper identifies NTS-KLB glutamatergic neurons as critical for mediating FGF21's effects during dietary protein restriction, showing their role in metabolic and behavioral adaptations.

FGF21 acts in the brain to drive macronutrient-specific changes in behavioral motivation and brain reward signaling

Md Shahjalal Hossain Khan, Sora Q. Kim, Robert C. Ross, Florina Corpodean, Redin A. Spann, Diana A Albarado, Sun Ok Fernandez‐Kim, Blaise Alexander Clarke, Hans‐Rudolf Berthoud, Heike Münzberg, David H. McDougal, Yanlin He, Sangho Yu, Vance L. Albaugh, Paul L. Soto, Christopher D. Morrison

This study shows that FGF21 in the brain enhances the reward value of protein, increasing motivation to consume it during protein restriction.
