FGF21 regulates local and systemic metabolic homeostasis. High serum FGF21 was found in obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and coronary heart disease. The pathways linking obesity and breast cancer remain elusive.

It was found that in dislocation silicon, after irradiation with gamma rays of a source of ionizing radiation Co, at first the internal friction (Q) increases to a maximum value and then Q gradually decreases to the initial values. It is shown that, as a result of gamma irradiation of silicon, the resulting change in Q is associated with the process of relaxation of vacancies with the formation of vacancy defect complexes near dislocation lines.
