Fibroblast growth factor 21: update on genetics and molecular biology.

Current opinion in lipidology - 1 Apr 2025

Barros Daniel R, Hegele Robert A

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Since its discovery, most research on fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has focused on its antihyperglycemia properties. However, attention has recently shifted towards elucidating the ability of FGF21 to lower circulating lipid levels and ameliorate liver inflammation and steatosis. We here discuss the physiology of FGF21 and its role in lipid metabolism, with a focus on genetics, which has...
