Fructose creates appetite-regulating signals directly in the brain and raises the blood insulin level. The statement is false (F).
Fructose does not influence appetite in the same way that glucose does since fructose does not create the direct appetite-regulating signals that trigger the production of insulin as glucose does. Hence, the statement is false.
Compared to glucose and other carbohydrates containing glucose, fructose induces less insulin production. Since leptin is released when insulin is present, eating fructose may result in lower circulating levels of insulin and leptin than eating other carbs, which could boost energy intake. In other words, ingestion of meals and drinks containing fructose results in lesser postprandial insulin spikes than consumption of carbohydrates containing glucose because fructose does not induce insulin release from pancreatic cells.
