FGF21 is EXPRESSED in the BRAIN!!
Wait, hasn't that been shown?
Studies in high profile journals @Cell_Metabolism and @NatMetabolism got it WRONG - bad methods.
We show that FGF21 is NOT expressed in the hypothalamus but instead in the RSC and thalamus:

Two days in a row in @PLOSONE. This time, a collaboration b/w our faculty & members of @uiowaeye & @foedrc as they map the impact of diabetes on the eye’s aqueous humor.

See our recent paper led by @RePereira in @Diabetes_ADA revealing an important role for OPA1 in the regulation of white adipose tissue lipogenesis and browning in response to cold. Thanks @potthofflab https://t.co/Q0ejsYKPXT

Check out this blog written by FOEDRC Co-Director, Andrew Norris, MD, PhD, discussing the study. https://t.co/ooeRP0VPHk

[The University of Iowa FOEDRC @foedrc]

Is it possible that improved blood sugar control offered by a hybrid closed-loop insulin pumps might reduce the adverse brain effects of type 1 diabetes in children? Eva Tsalikian and Michael Tansey were among a group of physicians who designed a study to answer this question.

[E. Dale Abel @IntMedAbel]

Congratulations @SatyaTadinada on the publication of chapter 1 of your thesis in @PhysRep. Important perspective on in vivo vs. ex vivo crosstalk between insulin and b-adrenergic signaling.

Check out this publication by @Bhagi43905530 posted earlier this month in @SciReports! The study demonstrates that a key lipid metabolite may be a useful targeting in preventing or even reversing diabetes and many of its comorbidities.

[Internal Medicine at Iowa @IntMedatIowa]

A recent @SciReports pub from @Bhagi43905530 finds that an extract from a commercially available fungus has the ability to block a key lipid metabolite's activity and reverse diabetes, obesity, and related comorbidities in mice.

We’re going to count it! @IntMedAbel becomes the third elected member of @theNASciences from @iowamed. Only about a dozen in the Academy’s 160-year history have come from @uiowa.

Congratulations, Dr. Abel!
