The FGF21 response to fructose predicts metabolic health and persists after bariatric surgery in obese humans

Conclusions Fructose ingestion in obese humans stimulates FGF21 secretion, and this response is related to systemic metabolism. Further studies are needed to establish if FGF21 signaling is (patho)physiologically involved in fructose metabolism and metabolic health.
