Divergent effects of central melanocortin signalling on fat and sucrose preference in humans

Divergent effects of central melanocortin signalling on fat and sucrose preference in humans

Hypothalamic melanocortin-4-receptors (MC4R) regulate food preference in rodents, but their role in humans is unclear. Here, the authors perform food preference and liking tests in humans with MC4R mutations and find that they prefer fatty food more, but sweet food less, than people without MC4R mut...
