Popis: Background Follistatin-like 3 (FSTL3) is a novel cytokine that regulates insulin sensitivity and counteracts activin/myostatin signalling. In the present study, regulation of FSTL3 in renal dysfunction was investigated in both human chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney dysfunction (AKD). Furthermore, mFSTL3 expression was analysed in insulin-sensitive tissues in a mouse model of CKD. Methods Circulating FSTL3 was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 581 patients with CKD covering the whole spectrum of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) categories from G1 to G5. Furthermore, FSTL3 was measured in 61 patients before and within 30 h after elective unilateral nephrectomy, an established model of AKD. Moreover, mFSTL3 mRNA expression was investigated in an animal CKD model, that is, eNOS-/-db/db mice, and compared with littermate controls. Results Median circulating FSTL3 levels significantly and continuously increased with deteriorating renal function (eGFR category G1: 6.1; G2: 8.2; G3: 12.7; G4: 18.5; G5: 32.1 µg/L; P
