A study shows FGF21 acts on specific brain regions to increase metabolism and reduce weight, revealing a distinct mechanism from existing obesity drugs, and enabling targeted treatments.

A pioneering research study published today in Cell Metabolism details how the hormone FGF21 (fibroblast growth factor 21) can reverse the effects of fatty liver disease in mice. The hormone works ...

A hormone that reverses obesity in mice appears to work by signaling to a brain region involved in metabolism and appetite ...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) significantly increases the risk of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. While fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) analogs have shown ...

While investigating the FGF21-oxytocin-dopamine system, a mechanism that regulates sugar appetite, a team of researchers at Kyoto University noticed reports suggesting that the protein FGF21 may ...
