Biochem/physiol Actions
FGF21 (fibroblast growth factor) is a hormonal factor which controls glucose homeostasis and energy metabolism. It exhibits anti-diabetic properties by controlling glucose uptake in peripheral tissues. It also possesses autocrine effects in white adipose tissue. FGF21 is present in milk and is needed for intestinal function in the neonate. It is also involved in bone loss. FGF21 exhibits hepatoprotective properties.

Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which function in vascular repair, are the markers of endothelial dysfunction and vascular health. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a liver-secreted protein, plays a crucial role in glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism. FGF21 has been reported
