Estradiol-dependent and independent effects of FGF21 in obese female mice by T. V. Jakovleva, A. Yu. Kazantseva, A. D. Dubinina, N. Yu. Balybina, K. O. Baranov, E. N. Makarova, N. M. Bazhan

“…The results suggest that the absence of FGF21 effects on body and adipose tissue weights in OVX obese females and its benef icial effect on food intake and blood glucose levels are not associated with the action of estradiol. However, estradiol affects the transcriptional effects of FGF21 in the liver, white adipose tissue, and hypothalamus, which may underlie sex differences in the FGF21 effect on the expression of metabolic genes and, possibly, in pharmacological FGF21 effects.…”
