Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Experimental and genetic studies suggest that fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) modulates macronutrient and alcohol preferences, but evidence of such regulation in humans remains scarce. To address this gap in translation, we aimed to map the relationships between plasma FGF21 levels, FGF21 genetic variation and habitual macronutrient intake in a large human population. METHODS: We fine-mapped and...
