Sugar Metabolism Regulates Flavor Preferences and Portal Glucose Sensing

In most species, including humans, food preference is primarily controlled by nutrient value. In particular, glucose-containing sugars exert exquisitely strong effects on food choice via gut-generated signals. However, the identity of the visceral signals underlying glucose’s rewarding effects remai...
