FGF-21 is a powerful regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism, which is significantly increased under certain conditions, such as mitochondrial dysfunction (see (185) for a review)
While this is a helpful short-term survival mechanism, it becomes highly detrimental when the stress is chronic
Studies have explored growth hormone receptor upregulation and VEGF pathway activation as potential mechanisms that could explain this multi-tissue activity though the complete mechanistic picture remains an active area of investigation

In the beginning, 5L of the reconstituted sample was injected into the LC column for polar metabolite separation using reversed-phase liquid chromatography on an ACQUITY UPLC XSelect column (100 2.1 mm 2.5 m, Waters Ltd., Elstree, UK)
SIRT3 enhances the enzymatic activities of SOD2 and IDH2 to limit ROS levels, which repress the metabolism reprogramming in cancer cell via destabilizing HIF-1, thereby repressing tumor growth
