Dual actions of fibroblast growth factor 19 on lipid metabolism.
Elevated triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol levels are risk factors for cardiovascular disease and are often associated with diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Recent reports suggest that fibroblast growth factor (FGF)19 and FGF21 can dramatically improve metabolic dysfunction, including hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hypercholesterolemia. Due to their similar receptor specificities and ...
متن کاملAcidic fibroblast growth factor in the developing rat embryo
Compared to basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a widely distributed, broad spectrum mitogen and mesoderm inducer, acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) is reported to have an essentially neural distribution and to be undetectable in the early embryo. In the present investigation, we used immunoblotting and immunochemistry to assess the cellular and tissue distributions of aFGF and bFGF in ...
متن کاملMutagenesis of the crystal contact of acidic fibroblast growth factor
An attempt has been made to improve a crystal contact of human acidic fibroblast growth factor (haFGF; 140 amino acids) to control the crystal growth, because haFGF crystallizes only as a thin-plate form, yielding crystals suitable for X-ray but not neutron diffraction. X-ray crystal analysis of haFGF showed that the Glu81 side chain, located at a crystal contact between haFGF molecules, is in ...
متن کاملAcidic fibroblast growth factor activates hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis in rats.
Effects of acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), an endogenous satiety substance, on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis were examined under pentobarbital sodium anesthesia in rats. A guide cannula was inserted into the cerebral third ventricle and a vascular indwelling catheter was inserted into the right atrium from the jugular vein 2 wk and 3 days, respectively, before the exper...
متن کاملAcidic fibroblast growth factor activates adrenomedullary secretion and sympathetic outflow in rats.
Effects of exogenous acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), which is increased in the brain by food intake, on the plasma levels of catecholamines and on sympathetic efferent outflow were examined in anesthetized rats. A guide cannula was inserted into the cerebral third ventricle, and a vascular indwelling catheter was inserted into the right atrium from the jugular vein. Plasma epinephrine (...
