The role of fibroblast growth factor 21 in the pathogenesis of liver disease: a novel predictor and therapeutic target

31 Jul 2014

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is one of the FGF family members that is produced mainly by tissues with high metabolic activity such as liver, pancreas, muscle and adipose tissue. The major function of FGF21 is to improve insulin sensitivity, ameliorate hepatic steatosis and enhance energy expenditure. Recently, several studies have reported a correlation between FGF21 and liver disease with...
