Suresh Thallapuranam, the Mildred Cooper Chair of Bioinformatics & Biochemistry in the U of A Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, has been awarded a $435,226 National Institutes of Health R15 ...

Emerging evidence supports the beneficial effect of fibroblast growth factor-1 (FGF1) on heart diseases, but its application has been hindered by the short half-life and limited bioactivity of the ...

Genetic analyses in more than 1,000 ALS patients uncovered that small changes in the FGF1, THSD7A, and LRP1 genes could affect patients’ prognosis. In patient-derived nerve cells, the identified ...

The discovery is FGF1, a hormone that regulates blood glucose by inhibiting the breakdown of fat, a metabolic process known as lipolysis. Insulin and FGF1 both inhibit lipolysis, but the hormones ...

Researchers have discovered a second hormone, FGF1, produced in fat tissue, that regulates blood glucose similarly to insulin, offering new treatment perspectives for diabetes. The discovery of ...

A few years ago, the Salk team discovered that a molecule called FGF1 performed a similar function to insulin, regulating blood glucose levels. A single injection of the hormone into diabetic mice ...

The study, which was published in Cell Metabolism on January 4, 2022, shows that a hormone called FGF1 regulates blood glucose by inhibiting fat breakdown (lipolysis). Like insulin, FGF1 controls ...
