Popis: cope Entero-endocrine cells (EECs) sense nutrients through taste receptors similar to those on the tongue. Sweet -and fatty acid taste (FFAR) receptors coupled to the gustatory G-protein, gustducin, on EECs play a role in gut hormone release. We studied if supplementation of artificial (sucralose) or prebiotic (oligofructose; OFS) sweeteners target gustducin-mediated signaling pathways to alter gut hormone release and reduce obesity-associated disorders. Methods and results Wild type (WT) and α-gustducin knockout (α-gust−/−) mice were fed a high-fat diet and gavaged once daily (8 weeks) with water or equisweet concentrations of sweeteners. OFS but not sucralose decreased body weight gain (-19±3%, P
