“…For this reason, it is highly relevant to understand the factors determining the production of FGF23. These include other hormones (e. g., calcitriol, parathyroid hormone, erythropoietin, insulin [4,26,27]), cytokines (e. g., tumor necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor-β, interleukin-1, or -6 [28][29][30][31][32]), nutrients (e. g., phosphate, iron, vitamin A [33][34][35]), or intracellular signaling cascades (e. g., AMP-dependent kinase, protein kinase C, the mammalian target of rapamycin signaling [36][37][38]). Yet, the complex regulation of FGF23 has remained enigmatic.…”
