[摘要]:Peptide hormone fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF21) has insulin-mimetic properties. Dutchak et al. now suggest that FGF21 also acts in an autocrine fashion in adipocytes and is required to mediate effects of the PPAR gamma agonist class of antidiabetic drugs. Does this new property improve FGF21's fledgling clinical prospects or endorse a clinical resuscitation of PPAR gamma agonists? |
