FGF21 is a liver-derived hormone primarily involved in glucose/lipid metabolism. A recent study by Flippo and colleagues demonstrates that administration of FGF21 or an FGF21 analog suppresses alcohol consumption in rodents and non-human primates, likely through an amygdalo-striatal circuit.
成纤维细胞生长因子 21(FGF21)是一种主要在肝脏中产生的激素,参与调节葡萄糖/脂质代谢。最近,Flippo 等人的研究表明,FGF21 或其类似物的给药可以抑制啮齿动物和非人灵长类动物的酒精摄入,可能通过杏仁核-纹状体回路实现。
