Hepatic Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 Is Regulated by PPARα and Is a Key Mediator of Hepatic Lipid Metabolism in Ketotic States
Open accessAbstract
Mice fed a high-fat, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (KD) exhibit marked changes in hepatic metabolism and energy homeostasis. Here, we identify liver-derived fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) as an endocrine regulator of the ketotic state. Hepatic expression and circulating levels of FGF21 are induced by both KD and fasting, are rapidly suppressed by refeeding, and are in large part downstream of PPARalpha. Importantly, adenoviral knockdown of hepatic FGF21 in KD-fed mice causes fatty liver, lipemia, and reduced serum ketones, due at least in part to altered expression of key genes governing lipid and ketone metabolism. Hence, induction of FGF21 in liver is required for the normal activation of hepatic lipid oxidation, triglyceride clearance, and ketogenesis induced by KD. These findings identify hepatic FGF21 as a critical regulator of lipid homeostasis and identify a physiological role for this hepatic hormone.

In the liver, FGF21 upregulates β-oxidation.
“In the liver, FGF21 upregulates β-oxidation [160] and downregulates lipogenesis [167].”
From The Role of Exercise in the Interplay between Myokines, Hepatokines, Osteokines, Adipokines, and Modulation of Inflammation for Energy Substrate Redistribution and Fat Mass Loss: A Review (2020) · cites this paper as [160]
The Results report that knocking down FGF21 in ketogenic-diet-fed mice reduced the diet-induced expression of hepatic β-oxidation genes. The Discussion interprets this as reduced liver capacity to oxidize lipids. This supports a role for FGF21 in β-oxidation during ketosis, but the unqualified claim extends beyond the condition studied and implies a direct increase in oxidation rather than the reported changes in gene expression and inferred capacity. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredBAIBA and FGF21 increase hepatic β-oxidation.
“For instance, BAIBA [104] and FGF21 [160] have been shown to increase hepatic β-oxidation (6)”
From The Role of Exercise in the Interplay between Myokines, Hepatokines, Osteokines, Adipokines, and Modulation of Inflammation for Energy Substrate Redistribution and Fat Mass Loss: A Review (2020) · cites this paper as [160]
The Results and Discussion (pages unavailable) show that FGF21 knockdown in ketogenic-diet-fed mice reduced expression of hepatic β-oxidation genes and likely reduced the liver’s capacity to oxidize lipids. This supports a role for FGF21 in hepatic β-oxidation during ketosis, but the paper does not directly show that increasing FGF21 increases measured β-oxidation generally. The separate BAIBA citation is not assessed here. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredFGF21 is expressed and released into the general circulation by several tissues such as the liver, white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue, and the heart.

Mice that overexpress FGF-21, a circulating FGF which is induced by a ketogenic diet, are lean and have increased brown fat, suggesting that the beneficial metabolic effects induced by a ketogenic diet are brought about in part by increases in BAT mass.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
