FGF21 and Muscle Function

Fibroblast growth factor 21, FGF21, is one of many proteins to emerge as a target for further research during the past few decades of investigation into the biochemistry of calorie restriction. The practice of calorie restriction, reducing calorie intake by up to 40% while maintaining optimal micronutrient levels in the diet, has been found to reliably slow aging and extend life span in most of the species and lineages tested to date. The effect size is much larger in short-lived species than in long-lived species such as our own, unfortunately, and this is generally true of all interventions that upregulate beneficial stress responses. Calorie restriction spurs greater activity in cellular housekeeping processes such as autophagy, and otherwise makes cells more efficient and resilient. The outcome is
