Nutritional Regulation of Hepatic FGF21 by Dietary Restriction of Methionine

FGF21 is a potent metabolic regulator of energy balance, body composition, lipid metabolism, and glucose homeostasis. Initial studies reported that it was increased by fasting and the associated increase in ketones, but more recent work points to the importance of dietary protein and sensing of esse...

Nutritional Regulation of Hepatic FGF21 by Dietary Restriction of Methionine
description FGF21 is a potent metabolic regulator of energy balance, body composition, lipid metabolism, and glucose homeostasis.

For example, dietary restriction of methionine produces a rapid transcriptional activation of hepatic FGF21 that results in a persistent 5- to 10-fold increase in serum FGF21.
