Changes in dietary habits have occurred concomitantly with a rise of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. Intestine is the first organ facing nutrient ingestion and has to adapt its metabolism with these dietary changes. HNF-4γ, a transcription factor member of the nuclear receptor superfamily and mainly expressed in intestine, has been suggested to be involved in susceptibility to T2D. Our aim was to investigate the role of HNF-4γ in metabolic disorders and related mechanisms.  Hnf4g −/−   mice were fed high-fat/high-fructose (HF-HF) diet for 6 weeks to induce obesity and T2D. Glucose homeostasis, energy homeostasis in metabolic cages, body composition and stool energy composition, as well as gene expression analysis in the jejunum were analyzed. Despite an absence of decrease in calorie intake, of increase in locomotor activity or energy expenditure,  Hnf4g −/−   mice fed with HF-HF are protected against weight gain after 6 weeks of HF-HF diet. We showed that  Hnf4g −/−   mice fed HF-HF display an increase in fecal calorie loss, mainly due to intestinal lipid malabsorption. Gene expression of lipid transporters,  Fatp4  and  Scarb1  and of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein secretion proteins,  Mttp  and  ApoB  are decreased in gut epithelium of  Hnf4g −/−   mice fed HF-HF, showing the HNF-4γ role in intestine lipid absorption. Furthermore, plasma GLP-1 and jejunal GLP-1 content are increased in  Hnf4g −/−   mice fed HF-HF, which could contribute to the glucose intolerance protection. The loss of HNF-4γ leads to a protection against a diet-induced weight gain and to a deregulated glucose homeostasis, associated with lipid malabsorption.
