Figure 1 Schematic Diagram Illustrating Interplay between Central/Peripheral FGF21 Actions, Thermogenesis, iBAT, and igWAT The efficacy of FGF21 therapeutics is mediated via (1) UCP1-dependent thermogenesis (i.e., igWAT browning + re-browning of whitened iBAT resulting in overall boosting of whole-body BAT function), (2) UCP1-independent thermogenesis (e.g., stimulation of multi-organ mitochondrial biogenesis and PGC-1α enrichment), and (3) central nervous system (CNS) mechanisms.
