Fibroblast Activation Protein is a GH Target: A Prospective Study of Patients with Acromegaly Before and After Treatment
23 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a circulating hormone with pleiotropic metabolic effects, which is inactivated by fibroblast activation protein (FAP). Data regarding interaction between FGF21, FAP, and growth hormone (GH) are limited, but it is noteworthy that collagens are also FAP substrates, since GH potently stimulates collagen turnover. AIM: To measure circulating FGF21 components,...
