Gut-derived GLP-1 released by rare sugar D-allulose cooperates with insulin to activate left-sided vagal afferents and enhance insulin sensitivity

Kento Ohbayashi, Mamoru Tanida, Chikara Abe…·Yusaku Iwasaki

This paper shows that D-allulose-induced GLP-1 enhances insulin action via left-sided vagal afferents, improving glucose tolerance more effectively than GLP-1 receptor agonists in mice.
