Exacerbation of sucrose-induced visceral obesity and glucose intolerance by ovariectomy and its GLP-1-dependent amelioration by the rare sugar D-allulose

This study shows that D-allulose reduces visceral obesity and glucose intolerance in ovariectomized mice, with effects dependent on GLP-1.

Lateralized vagal oxytocin signaling separately controls feeding and socioemotional functions via hypothalamic oxytocin signaling

This study shows that left and right vagal oxytocin signaling differentially control feeding and socioemotional behaviors via hypothalamic oxytocin neurons in mice.
