Lower cerebrospinal fluid/plasma fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) ratios and placental FGF21 production in gestational diabetes [PDF]

, 2013
Objectives: Circulating Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) levels are increased in insulin resistant states such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). In addition, GDM is associated with serious maternal and fetal

Effects of Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 on Longitudinal Bone Growth* [PDF]

Endocrinology, 1998
In vivo, fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) inhibits longitudinal bone growth. Similarly, activating FGF receptor 3 mutations impair growth in achondroplasia and thanatophoric dysplasia. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, we chose a fetal rat metatarsal organ culture system that would maintain growth plate histological architecture.

Fibroblast Growth Factors 1 and 2 and Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1 Are Elevated in Thyroid Hyperplasia [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1998
We have previously reported increased expression of fibroblast growth factor (FGF-1 and FGF-2) in benign and malignant human thyroid neoplasia. To determine the role of these factors in thyroid hyperplasia we have examined their expression in multinodular goiter and compared findings with those in normal thyroid tissue. Because the effects of FGF-1 and

Prognostic role of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 in human solid tumors: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Tumor Biology, 2017
In the past decades, the oncogenic role of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 has been demonstrated in a number of cancer types. However, studies have reported contradictory findings concerning the correlation between fibroblast growth factor receptor 2

Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2) Expression in Pterygia Using Cell Spot Arrays

Vision, 2022
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) is a main regulator of cell differentiation, cell migration and angiogenesis in normal and abnormal conjunctiva epithelia, but specific mechanisms of its aberrant expression are yet to be investigated. In the present study,

Fibroblast growth factor 2 isoforms and cardiac hypertrophy [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 2004
Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2), a multifunctional polypeptide that affects cell growth and differentiation and becomes upregulated by stress, is expressed as AUG-initiated 18 kDa FGF-2 or CUG-initiated 21-34 kDa (hi-FGF-2) isoforms. Animal models have provided strong evidence that FGF-2 is essential for the manifestation of overload- and ...
