Lets also not forget the strong human genetic evidence of FGF21 with both liver enzymes & triglycerides. e.g. this 2022 paper https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0026049522002074

Hi, Alex, do you think there is any regulatory risk in getting antitrust approval for the Akero acquisition? Thanks

Yes, spot on. I recently spoke with a former big pharma CEO whose company had one of the FGF21 programs mentioned in this piece. Their account was nearly identical. “R&D was very interested in the molecule, but we never moved it forward.”
