Abstract

SummaryObesity in mice and humans is associated with elevated levels of at least two hormones responsive to cellular stress, namely GDF15 and FGF21. Over-expression of each of these is associated with weight loss and beneficial metabolic changes but where they are secreted from and what they are required for physiologically in the context of overfeeding remains unclear. Here we used tissue selective knockout mouse models to establish that, like FGF21, circulating GDF15 is primarily derived from the liver, rather than adipose tissue, muscle or macrophages in high fat fed mice. Combined whole body deletion of FGF21 and GDF15 does not result in any additional weight gain in high fat fed mice but is associated with significantly greater hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance. Collectively the data suggest that activation of the integrated stress response in hepatocytes is a major driver for GDF15 and FGF21 secretion in the context of overfeeding, and that they both act to alleviate this metabolic stress.
