Abstract

The metabolic fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), FGF1, FGF15/19, and FGF21 differ from classic FGFs in that they modulate energy homeostasis in response to fluctuating nutrient availability. These unique mediators of metabolism regulate a number of physiological processes which contribute to their potent pharmacological properties. Administration of pharmacological doses of these FGFs causes weight loss, increases energy expenditure, and improves carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in obese animal models. However, many questions remain regarding the precise molecular and physiological mechanisms governing the effects of individual metabolic FGFs. Here we review the metabolic actions of FGF1, FGF15/19, and FGF21 while providing insights into their pharmacological effects by examining known biological functions.

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.
