Fibroblast growth factor 19 stimulates water intake

Molecular Metabolism, 2022
Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) is a hormone with pleiotropic metabolic functions, leading to ongoing development of analogues for treatment of metabolic disorders. On the other hand, FGF19 is overexpressed in a sub-group of hepatocellular carcinoma (

Fibroblast Growth Factors in Schizophrenia [PDF]

Schizophrenia Bulletin, 2009
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 ...

Fibroblast growth factor 21 and bone homeostasis

Biomedical Journal, 2023
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a member of the FGF subfamily, is produced primarily in the liver and adipose tissue. The main function of FGF21 is to regulate energy metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids in the body through endocrine and other ...

In situ formation of poly(vinyl alcohol)–heparin hydrogels for mild encapsulation and prolonged release of basic fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor

Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2016
Heparin-based hydrogels are attractive for controlled growth factor delivery, due to the native ability of heparin to bind and stabilize growth factors.
