Description
Background/aims: Serum concentrations of the hepatokine fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 21 are elevated in obesity, type2 diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome. We asked whether FGF21 levels differ between subjects with metabolically healthy vs. unhealthy obesity (MHO vs. MUHO) opening the possibility that FGF21 is a crosstalker between liver and adipose tissue in MUHO. Furthermore, we studied the effects of chronic FGF21 treatment on adipocyte differentiation, lipid storage, and adipokine secretion.
