FGF21 promotes metabolic homeostasis via white adipose and leptin in mice.

FGF21 promotes metabolic homeostasis via white adipose and leptin in mice.

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a potent metabolic regulator, and pharmacological administration elicits glucose and lipid lowering responses in mammals. To delineate if adipose tissue is the predominant organ responsible for anti-diabetic effects of FGF21, we treated mice with reduced body f...
