The Fibroblast Growth Factor signaling pathway

TL;DR: Members of the FGF family function in the earliest stages of embryonic development and during organogenesis to maintain progenitor cells and mediate their growth, differentiation, survival, and patterning.

Energy metabolism in the liver

TL;DR: The liver is an essential metabolic organ, and its metabolic function is controlled by insulin and other metabolic hormones, so controlling liver energy metabolism is tightly regulated by neuronal and hormonal signals.

Hepatic Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 Is Regulated by PPARα and Is a Key Mediator of Hepatic Lipid Metabolism in Ketotic States

TL;DR: Induction of FGF21 in liver is required for the normal activation of hepatic lipid oxidation, triglyceride clearance, and ketogenesis induced by KD, and a physiological role for this hepatic hormone is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

FGF21 regulates PGC-1α and browning of white adipose tissues in adaptive thermogenesis

TL;DR: It is shown here that fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) plays a physiologic role in this thermogenic recruitment of WATs and acts to activate and expand the thermogenic machinery in vivo to provide a robust defense against hypothermia.

A simple method for the isolation and purification of total lipides from animal tissues.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a simplified version of the method and reported the results of a study of its application to different tissues, including the efficiency of the washing procedure in terms of the removal from tissue lipides of some non-lipide substances of special biochemical interest.

FGF-21 as a novel metabolic regulator

TL;DR: It is concluded that FGF-21, which was discovered to be a potent regulator of glucose uptake in mouse 3T3-L1 and primary human adipocytes, exhibits the therapeutic characteristics necessary for an effective treatment of diabetes.

Roles of PPARs in health and disease.

TL;DR: The latest developments in the PPAR field are presented, with particular emphasis on the physiological function ofPPARs during various nutritional states, and the possible role of PPARs in several chronic diseases.

Fibroblast growth factor 15 functions as an enterohepatic signal to regulate bile acid homeostasis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fibroblast growth factor 15 signals from intestine to liver to repress the gene encoding cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), which catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the classical bile acid synthetic pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor α mediates the adaptive response to fasting

TL;DR: It is shown that to accommodate the increased requirement for hepatic fatty acid oxidation, PPAR α mRNA is induced during fasting in wildtype mice, indicating that PPARα plays a pivotal role in the management of energy stores during fasting.
