Glucagon regulates its own synthesis by autocrine signaling. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , 2012; DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1212870110 Cite This Page : ...

To keep your blood sugar level in check, a specific type of cell in your pancreas secretes insulin in response to any sugar ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have shown that the cells that produce glucagon are stimulated by the hormone itself. A previous study by the same group demonstrated that this ...

A new study led by Ananda Basu, M.D., used novel non-radioactive, stable glucagon tracers for the first time to characterize glucagon metabolism in humans with and without Type 1 diabetes ...

The increase in glucagon then signals the liver to release glucose. "When we blocked these cytokines, glucagon levels dropped, proving they are essential for maintaining blood sugar levels".

Oral glucose tolerance testing results in less-suppressed endogenous glucagon production compared with isoglycemic intravenous glucose infusion in adults with and without diabetes, study data show ...

A new study led by Ananda Basu, M.D., used novel non-radioactive, stable glucagon tracers for the first time to characterize glucagon metabolism in humans with and without Type 1 diabetes, providing ...

Net splanchnic glucagon production did not change with exogenous glucagon infusion. “We have characterized regional glucagon metabolism across the splanchnic and leg regions in humans with and without ...

Glucagon, a hormone best known for promoting blood sugar production in the liver, also appears to play a key role in maintaining kidney health. When UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers ...
