Changes in fibroblast growth factor 21 levels associated with alcohol consumption and smoking cessation
Our findings demonstrate a dynamic response in FGF21 levels, with acute moderate alcohol consumption inducing elevated FGF21 levels, and cessation of drinking lowering FGF21 levels, indicative of potential liver recovery. No effect of cigarette smoking cessation on plasma FGF21 levels was observed.
