Hormonal Responses that Regulate the Metabolic Benefits of Exercise: The Contribution of the Melanocortin System and the Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) Signaling Pathway

Loyd, Christine M

Abstract Details

2014, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Medicine: Pathobiology and Molecular Medicine.
Exercise has benefits on body and fat mass, glucose metabolism, and lipid metabolism. Likewise, exercise is an effective therapy against the metabolic syndrome. Yet, the molecular pathways underlying the advantageous effects of exercise are imperfectly understood. Emerging evidence suggests that the melanocortin system and the fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) signaling axis, two endocrine pathways involved in regulation of energy homeostasis, are mediators of exercise benefits.
