Reduced adiposity attenuates FGF21 mediated metabolic improvements in the Siberian hamster

Abstract FGF21 exerts profound metabolic effects in Siberian hamsters exposed to long day (LD) photoperiods that increase appetite and adiposity, however these effects are attenuated in short day (SD) animals that display hypophagia and reduced adiposity. The aim of this study was to investigate whe...
