Dietary fibers that may increase natural GLP-1 levels and feelings of fullness

Updated

Abstract

Dietary fibers can stimulate endogenous glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion.

  • Microbial fermentation of dietary fibers may enhance the secretion of GLP-1, which is associated with increased feelings of fullness.
  • GLP-1 signaling is linked to weight management, suggesting a potential role for dietary fibers in this process.
  • There is a growing interest in non-drug strategies to support the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy.
  • A structured overview of human evidence is necessary to better understand these dietary effects.
