FGF21 goes up during starvation, fasting, fatty acid oxidation disorders, and - interestingly - it is also now a biomarker for mitochondrial disease:

Does anyone know of a commercial lab in the US that is testing FGF21 in humans?  I couldn't find it on the Labcorp or Quest menus, which doesn't mean it is not available.
