A hormone called FGF21 can reverse obesity in mice by activating a newly identified brain circuit tied to metabolism. Surprisingly, it works in the hindbrain—the same region targeted by GLP-1 drugs ...

Oklahoma researchers found the hormone FGF21 targets the same brain region as GLP-1 drugs, but works by boosting metabolic ...

Researchers have found that the hormone FGF21 reversed obesity in mice by acting on a newly identified brain circuit in the hindbrain. Unlike GLP-1 drugs, which mainly reduce appetite, FGF21 appears ...

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a hepatokine, has been implicated in preference for sweet foods in humans for the first time. Previous work in rodents had shown that FGF21 secreted from the liver ...

Researchers discovered that the liver hormone FGF21 signals hindbrain neurons to control appetite and metabolism during ...

Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) and 21 (FGF21) have been linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes in adults. We assessed the circulating concentrations of these factors in human neonates and infants, ...

A hormone called FGF21 that is secreted by the liver after eating sweets may determine who has a sweet tooth and who doesn't, according to a new study. Researchers found that people with particular ...

Scientists have discovered a way to extend the lives of lab mice by 40 percent and suggest that it could one day be used as a treatment to boost human lifespans. In a study published this week in the ...

Mice given a dose of the hormone FGF21 recovered much faster, researchers found. They think it could be used to treat alcohol poisoning in people. Reading time 3 minutes A team of scientists appears ...

Scientists have identified hindbrain neurons that respond to the liver hormone FGF21, revealing a direct link between diet ...

A hormone that extends lifespan in mice by 40% is produced by specialized cells in the thymus gland, according to a new study by Yale School of Medicine researchers. The team also found that ...
