GLP-1 release and vagal afferent activation mediate the beneficial metabolic and chronotherapeutic effects of D-allulose

The sweetener D-allulose has beneficial metabolic effects in animal models, but its mechanism of action was unclear. Here the authors report that D-allulose triggers GLP-1 release in the gut and GLP-1R signaling on vagal afferents, counteracting arrhythmic overeating, obesity and diabetes.
