CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE These data identify Plin2 actions as novel mediators of sugar-induced adipose browning through indirect effects of hepatic FGF21 expression, and suggest that adipose browning mechanisms may contribute to Plin2-null resistance to obesity. 29866659 2018
CUI: C0028754
Disease: Obesity
Obesity
0.400 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Moreover, despite the metabolic health-promoting effects of FGF21, the levels of this hormone are increased under conditions such as obesity and diabetes, an apparent incongruity that has been attributed to altered tissue responsiveness to FGF21. 30043445 2018
CUI: C0028754
