Results from a phase 1B/2A trial showed that a long-acting glycopegylated fibroblast growth factor 21 analog reduced liver fat and triglycerides in adults with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. It was the top story in endocrinology last week.
Another top story was about a pilot study investigating ovarian function in early menopause. In a cohort of 12 early menopausal women, 11 resumed their menstrual cycle a little more than 1 month after receiving an injection of platelet-rich plasma and recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone in the extended subcortical area of the bilateral ovaries.
