Circulating fibroblast growth factor-21, Omentin-1, and betatrophin and their association with metabolic parameters in Saudi adolescents post 12-month lifestyle change program
We concluded that betatrophin levels had an inverse association with metabolic biomarkers omentin-1, FGF-21, and 25(OH)D after a 12-month lifestyle modification program. A healthy diet and exercise are associated with decreased betatrophin levels and improving glucose tolerance.
