These findings suggest a mechanism by which dietary olive oil regulates blood glucose levels and present a novel functional role for enteropancreatic neurons in regulating glucose homeostasis!

Here, we show that olive oil improves acute glucose tolerance by stimulating insulin release via NTSR1-expressing enteropancreatic neurons

Diets rich in olive oil promote weight loss and improve remission rates in patients with T2DM

Enteropancreatic neurons project from the small intestinal wall to the pancreas. Though well positioned to mediate the effects of ingested nutrients, the metabolic role of these neurons is unclear
