Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a member of fibroblast growth factor superfamily has received extensive attention for its positive effect on metabolism. Many tissues are target of FGF21 action. The effect of FGF21 on improving lipid and glucose metabolism has been proved. It also suggests that FGF21 plays a conspicuous role in a state of prolonged fasting and starvation. This article will review the role of FGF21 in regulating lipid and glucose metabolism and discuss the involved cellular and molecular mechanisms.
