← Human Body & HealthWhat causes a delayed sense of satiety after consuming a high-fructose meal compared to a glucose-rich meal?
A)Ghrelin secretion acutely rises higher
B)Fructose poorly stimulates GLP-1 release✓
C)Leptin resistance strongly diminishes
D)Brain insulin sensitivity sharply increases
💡 Explanation
Fructose metabolism largely bypasses GLP-1 stimulation in the gut; because GLP-1 normally signals satiety to the brain, lower release delays that feeling. Therefore, less GLP-1 stimulation delays satiety signals, rather than increased ghrelin, altered leptin, or enhanced insulin sensitivity causing the effect.
