FGF21 is EXPRESSED in the BRAIN!!
Wait, hasn't that been shown?
Studies in high profile journals @Cell_Metabolism and @NatMetabolism got it WRONG - bad methods.
We show that FGF21 is NOT expressed in the hypothalamus but instead in the RSC and thalamus:

See our recent paper led by @RePereira in @Diabetes_ADA revealing an important role for OPA1 in the regulation of white adipose tissue lipogenesis and browning in response to cold. Thanks @potthofflab diabetesjournals.org/diabete…
Is it possible that improved blood sugar control offered by a hybrid closed-loop insulin pumps might reduce the adverse brain effects of type 1 diabetes in children? Eva Tsalikian and Michael Tansey were among a group of physicians who designed a study to answer this question.
Check out this blog written by FOEDRC Co-Director, Andrew Norris, MD, PhD, discussing the study. tinyurl.com/45ftf59u

Check out this publication by @Bhagi43905530 posted earlier this month in @SciReports! The study demonstrates that a key lipid metabolite may be a useful targeting in preventing or even reversing diabetes and many of its comorbidities.

A recent @SciReports pub from @Bhagi43905530 finds that an extract from a commercially available fungus has the ability to block a key lipid metabolite's activity and reverse diabetes, obesity, and related comorbidities in mice.

We’re going to count it! @IntMedAbel becomes the third elected member of @theNASciences from @iowamed. Only about a dozen in the Academy’s 160-year history have come from @uiowa.
Congratulations, Dr. Abel!
