Objective Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has been shown to rapidly lower body weight in the Siberian hamster, a preclinical model of adiposity. This induced negative energy balance mediated by FGF21 is associated with both lowered caloric intak...

Characterization of behavioral, signaling and cytokine alterations in a rat neurodevelopmental model for schizophrenia, and their reversal by the 5-HT6 receptor antagonist SB-399885 (2018)
Journal Article

Post-weaning social isolation of rats produces neuroanatomical, neurochemical and behavioral alterations resembling some core features of schizophrenia. This study examined the ability of the 5-HT? receptor antagonist SB-399885 to reverse isolation-i...

Dual effects of fibroblast growth factor 21 on hepatic energy metabolism (2015)
Journal Article
Samms, R. J., Murphy, M., Fowler, M. J., Cooper, S., Emmerson, P., Coskun, T., …Tsintzas, K. (2015). Dual effects of fibroblast growth factor 21 on hepatic energy metabolism. Journal of Endocrinology, 227(1), https://doi.org/10.1530/JOE-15-0334

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms by which FGF21 affects hepatic integration of carbohydrate and fat metabolism in Siberian hamsters, a natural model of adiposity. Twelve aged matched adult male Siberian hamsters maintained in t... Read More about Dual effects of fibroblast growth factor 21 on hepatic energy metabolism.
