Lin X, Liu YB, Hu H.
PMID: 28515909
Biomed Rep. 2017 May;6(5):495-502. doi: 10.3892/br.2017.890. Epub 2017 Apr 10.

The hepatokine fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a novel polypeptide ligand, which is involved in glucose and lipid metabolism, and contributes significantly to lowering body weight and enhancing insulin sensitivity. A large number of pre-clinical and clinical results...

OBJECTIVE: Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a hormone with pleiotropic metabolic activities which, in rodents, is robustly regulated by fasting and ketogenic diets. In contrast, similar dietary interventions have either no or minimal effects on circulating FGF21 in...

INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic greater curvature plication (LGCP) is a novel restrictive technique that reduces gastric volume by plication of the greater curvature. The advantage of LGCP is its reversibility in comparison to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Nowadays, the long-term LGCP efficacy,...

Practical prospects for boosting hepatic production of the "pro-longevity" hormone FGF21.

Hormone molecular biology and clinical investigation

McCarty MF.
PMID: 26741352
Horm Mol Biol Clin Investig. 2015 Dec 19;30(2). doi: 10.1515/hmbci-2015-0057.

Fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF21), produced mainly in hepatocytes and adipocytes, promotes leanness, insulin sensitivity, and vascular health while down-regulating hepatic IGF-I production. Transgenic mice overexpressing FGF21 enjoy a marked increase in median and maximal longevity comparable to that evoked...

Acarbose, lente carbohydrate, and prebiotics promote metabolic health and longevity by stimulating intestinal production of GLP-1.

The α-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose, which slows carbohydrate digestion and blunts postprandial rises in plasma glucose, has long been used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes or glucose intolerance. Like metformin, acarbose tends to aid weight control, postpone onset...

Fibroblast Growth Factor 21-Null Mice Do Not Exhibit an Impaired Response to Fasting.

Frontiers in endocrinology

Antonellis PJ, Hayes MP, Adams AC.
PMID: 27445980
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne). 2016 Jun 30;7:77. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2016.00077. eCollection 2016.

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a pleotropic metabolic regulator, expression of which is elevated during fasting. To this end, the precise role played by FGF21 in the biology of fasting has been the subject of several recent studies,...

Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 Protects against Atherosclerosis via Fine-Tuning the Multiorgan Crosstalk.

Diabetes & metabolism journal

Jin L, Lin Z, Xu A.
PMID: 26912152
Diabetes Metab J. 2016 Feb;40(1):22-31. doi: 10.4093/dmj.2016.40.1.22.

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a metabolic hormone with pleiotropic effects on energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Besides its antiobese and antidiabetic activity, FGF21 also possesses the protective effects against atherosclerosis. Circulating levels of FGF21 are elevated in...

Muscle mitochondrial stress adaptation operates independently of endogenous FGF21 action.

OBJECTIVE: Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) was recently discovered as stress-induced myokine during mitochondrial disease and proposed as key metabolic mediator of the integrated stress response (ISR) presumably causing systemic metabolic improvements. Curiously, the precise cell-non-autonomous and cell-autonomous relevance...
