Abstract

Regulation of hepatic carbohydrate homeostasis is crucial for maintaining energy balance in the face of fluctuating nutrient availability. Here, we show that the hormone fibroblast growth factor 15/19 (FGF15/19), which is released postprandially from the small intestine, inhibits hepatic gluconeogenesis, like insulin. However, unlike insulin, which peaks in serum 15 min after feeding, FGF15/19 expression peaks approximately 45 min later, when bile acid concentrations increase in the small intestine. FGF15/19 blocks the expression of genes involved in gluconeogenesis through a mechanism involving the dephosphorylation and inactivation of the transcription factor cAMP regulatory element-binding protein (CREB). This in turn blunts expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) and other genes involved in hepatic metabolism. Overexpression of PGC-1α blocks the inhibitory effect of FGF15/19 on gluconeogenic gene expression. These results demonstrate that FGF15/19 works subsequent to insulin as a postprandial regulator of hepatic carbohydrate homeostasis.

  • Intestine-secreted FGF15 also plays a pivotal role in the regulation of energy metabolism and liver cell regeneration.

    “It is recognized that intestine‐secreted FGF15 also plays a pivotal role in the regulation of energy metabolism and liver cell regeneration (Potthoff et al., 2011).”

    From <i>Akkermansia muciniphila</i> alleviates <scp>high‐fat‐diet</scp> ‐related metabolic‐associated fatty liver disease by modulating gut microbiota and bile acids (2023) · cites this paper as Potthoff et al., 2011

    The Introduction describes FGF15/19 as a hormone induced in the small intestine with effects on energy homeostasis, and the Discussion reports its regulation of hepatic metabolism. The passages found in our copy do not address liver cell regeneration (searched: liver regeneration, hepatocyte proliferation, regenerating liver cells). (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • FGF19 increases liver protein and glycogen synthesis while repressing hepatic glucose production, independently from insulin.

    “FGF19 also increases liver protein and glycogen synthesis while repressing hepatic glucose production 43, 44, in order to ensure proper postprandial energy storage independently from insulin.”

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.
