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 کاملGrowth Hormone Control of Hepatic Lipid Metabolism
In humans, low levels of growth hormone (GH) and its mediator, IGF-1, associate with hepatic lipid accumulation. In mice, congenital liver-specific ablation of the GH receptor (GHR) results in reductions in circulating IGF-1 and hepatic steatosis, associated with systemic insulin resistance. Due to the intricate relationship between GH and IGF-1, the relative contribution of each hormone to the...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factors in schizophrenia.
A large association study by O'Donovan et al recently suggested that genetic variation in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 2 increases the risk for developing schizophrenia. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are part of the family of glial growth factors; they control the growth and patterning of specific brain structures and regulate the maintenance and repair of neuronal tissues. In ad...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factors
What are they? Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a family of small (20–30 kDa) intercellular signalling proteins which are frequently found to be glycosylated. The first draft of the human genome identified 29 potential FGF genes, and so far transcripts have been identified for 23 of them. Two FGFs have been identified in Caenorhabditis elegans (Let-756 and Egl-17) while Drosophila appears o...
متن کاملTargeting fibroblast growth factors in cancer
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) have been implicated in multiple aspects of cancer development and growth for over 20 years [1]. Research has shown that FGFs have a role in a) directly promoting cancer cell growth, b) tumor angiogenesis, and c) more speculatively, the survival of a group of cancer cells called “tumor stem cells” that are particularly difficult to target with current therapies....
