In a blood analysis of 60 participants with type 2 diabetes and 24 healthy controls, the researchers in China found that Ffar4 mutations, which reduce FGF21 production, are linked to an increased ...

An analysis of 60 participants with type 2 diabetes and 24 healthy controls highlighted that mutations in the FFAR4 gene, which reduce FGF21 production, correlate with a greater preference for sugars.

When faced with multiple food options and ultimately choosing one, the factors of that decision-making process may be more physiological than previously assumed. A group of scientists led by ...

The results of a phase 2b ENLIVEN trial of FGF21 analogue pegozafermin showed it was able to reduce scarring (fibrosis) in the liver of NASH patients at more than three times the rate of a placebo ...

While fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) analogs have shown promise in clinical trials, their underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. A research team led by Prof. Li Yu at the Shanghai ...
