Orphan nuclear receptor ERR-{gamma} regulates hepatic FGF23 production in acute kidney inȷury [Medical Sciences]

Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a hormone generally derived from bone, is important in phosphate and vitamin D homeostasis. In acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, high-circulating FGF23 levels are associated with disease progression and mortality. However, the organ and cell type of FGF23 production in AKI and the molecular mechanism...
