Circulating FGF21 is Liver Derived and Enhances Glucose Uptake During Refeeding and Overfeeding

TL;DR: It is shown that liver-derived FGF21 enters the circulation during fasting but also remains present and functional during the early stage of refeeding, compatible with the concept that FGF 21 functions physiologically as an insulin sensitizer under conditions of acute refeeded and overfeeding.
Journal ArticleDOI

FGF21 Regulates Metabolism Through Adipose-Dependent and -Independent Mechanisms.

TL;DR: It is found that adiponectin is dispensable for the metabolic effects of FGF 21 in increasing insulin sensitivity and energy expenditure, and FGF21 acutely enhances insulin sensitivity through actions on brown adipose tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Liver Derived FGF21 Maintains Core Body Temperature During Acute Cold Exposure

TL;DR: A previously unrecognized role for FGF21 in the maintenance of body temperature in response to cold is demonstrated, found that only liver-derived FGF 21 enters circulation during acute cold exposure and is critical for thermoregulation.
