Iron and obesity status-associated insulin resistance influence circulating fibroblast-growth factor-23 concentrations.

Iron and obesity status-associated insulin resistance influence circulating fibroblast-growth factor-23 concentrations.

Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) is known to be produced by the bone and linked to metabolic risk. We aimed to explore circulating FGF-23 in association with fatness and insulin sensitivity, atherosclerosis and bone mineral density (BMD). Circulating intact FGF-23 (iFGF-23) and C-terminal (CtFGF...
