Does FGF21 Mediate the Potential Decrease in Sweet Food Intake and Preference Following Bariatric Surgery?

The liver-derived hormone fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has recently been linked to preference for sweet-tasting food. We hypothesized, that surgery-induced changes in FGF21 could mediate the reduction in sweet food intake and preference following bariatric surgery. Forty participants (35 fema...

description The liver-derived hormone fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has recently been linked to preference for sweet-tasting food. We hypothesized, that surgery-induced changes in FGF21 could mediate the reduction in sweet food intake and preference following bariatric surgery. Forty participants (35 females) with severe obesity (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) scheduled for roux-en-y gastric bypass (<i>n</i> = 30) or sleeve gastrectomy (<i>n</i> = 10) were included.
